Upgrade to CS style alternator

fiber is a good thing, we all need some..

Lol sure do. I corrected that. Basically what is like to know is how many ohms of resistance are in the ec82 harness to make sure it doesn't exceed the 350ohm

 

[pontiacgp]

where did you get the 350 ohms from, the GM adapter for that set up is 500 ohms. When you doing your measurement are you just getting the resistance of the wire itself?

 

[mebe007]

I hooked into the wire connector and ground key off and read 30.1

 

[pontiacgp]

If you're concerned about keeping it less than 350 I'd get a 100 ohm resistor or something close to it and wire that into the harness....it'll probably cost you less than a $1

 

[mebe007]

did i measure the resistance correctly.

 

[pontiacgp]

I'm not sure how you measured it...here's the diagram of the charging system

 

[mebe007]

i hooked one lead into the connectoer for the si alternator (brown wire) and the other lead to ground which in theory should read the resistance of the entire circuit for that wire i believe

Resistance can be measured with an ohmmeter by measuring across a load not in series with it.

well how in the world do i get on both ends of that circuit lol
