Hey Guys. I've still got the stock 60A alternator and I need to replace my voltage regulator (flickering headlight symptom). I just saw Ryan's Mass Buy on the 3G or 4G wiring harness' . I'd been thinking for a while that, since I have to fix something (VR), I may as well make it better!
I've been looking at several different types of alternator upgrades. 1G, 3G, 4G, internal regulation, external regulation, etc. and have finally come to the realization that I just don't know enough about all these variations to be able to make an informed decision.
Right now, I've got a basically stock electrical system on my 70 EB. I might, at some time, install a winch, H4 headlight upgrade, and a couple extra lights.
I guess I'm looking for information on the difference between alternator types, and pros and cons on the internal vs external regulation thing.
Thanks as always...
