Re: Electrical Problems '73 CJ5
Hi Casey,
Both Kaiser Jeep, and American Motors Corp. used Motorola
alternators, and their separate regulators at least through '72. So, I
bet you still have one, I would make the swap to Delco and their
integrated regular. The brackets are so similar I'd just cut off a
section of the Delco's and shim it into position with the other pulleys.
Use the same battery connection, and jump it to the alternator's #2 and
hook #1 field to ignition switch, ignition.
