12 Volt Kits
12 Volt Conversion Kits
Vintage Auto Garage started over 15 years ago, offering single voltage regulator/reducer to power original oil, gas, and temperature gauges when converting classic cars and trucks from 6 volt to 12 volts. Since then, Vintage Auto Garage has developed complete 6 to 12 volt conversion kits for almost every American classic make and model.
Our kits have been shipped to every continent in the world, used by every antique auto that was built with the original 6 volt positive or negative ground electrical systems. You can find all of our kits by year, make, and model below, and if for any reason you do not find one of the kits on our site, we likely still have the conversion parts available and are likely in the process of adding it to the site in the future.
If you have a project, large or small, that requires converting from 6 to 12 volts, and you cannot find your vehicle in our inventory, click on submit your project and one of our team members will send you a complete list of parts for your specific classic auto.

@tynandill926 Жыл бұрын

Huh 🤔...Great explaining, this may have solved my alternator overcharging my battery and battery not taking a charge and staying dead after shut off...in my '84 Monte Carlo with a 305 1st Gen SBC, everytime I shut the car off my battery is dead and I need a jump. After a jump and about 5-10 minutes of driving, my dash lights, headlights, and stereo slowly dim and eventually power off completely, but my HEI distributor doesn't power off, I'm guessing running from the alternator as you stated about the ignition coil. I have a C130 which originally came with a 3 wire plug and idiot light. I was told a 2 wire plug was less complicated. So I bought a 2 wire connector and I wired it up exactly how you did with the 10si alternator you have, S wire to the alternator B+ stud, and exciter wire to the ignition port behind the firewall in the cab. I think it's the cause of my alternator overpowering my battery, I get 15.5 at the alternator and battery with the engine running. I say that, because with the C130 in your video, you have the 3 prong connector with just the single wire, that being the exciter wire itself...vs...mine having technically two S wires, the external wire from the 2 wire connector and the internal S wire within the CS130...or does the internal S source of the CS130 only work with the 1 wire connector ? 1 wire connector looks even less complicated than the 2 wire connector and you're showing and telling me that the 1 wire connector is the correct connector I need for my CS130 Alternator. I need a 1 wire connector for my CS130 alternator.

I have a 320amp alt with a 14.7 bypass regulator. Problem is when the vehicle is off, there's a faint humming noise coming from the alternator. And after a day or so the battery is dead. I tapped the excited wire to the fuse box for ignition. What's the issue you think?

Diode isn't to regulate the charge rate. Just to regulate electric flow direction. Your external or internal regulater is possibly bad.

I switched to a PowerMaster #67293 alternator with internal regulator. So I cut the wires to the voltage regulator and capped off three, and connected the Excite wire to the brown wire. Per your setup, I'm running a heavier wire from the Alternator Post directly to the battery terminal with a Fusible Link. So I have the old alternator wire, the heavier 10 AWG factory '69 Camaro wire and I was wondering is it now going to be live, dead or live only when the key is on? Could I use that wire as a 12v Switched Ignition source? Or should I cut the eyelet off and cap that wire?

@daviderickennedy2194 3 ай бұрын

Why do the even have a sense wire? I mean why output is already right there next to it, why did they not just do that internally? Seem pointless, I don't get it. Edit: I do now. The way it's being done in this picture is pointless, incorrect. The sense wire needs to be away from the alternator, closer to the load or battery so it can see the voltage drop. Coming right out of the alternator it's going to be a false higher voltage. Doing like in the picture the alternator will maintain the battery at a lower charge, not optimally, but it will still "work".

@sultansultan5447 3 жыл бұрын

One thing i can't seem to understand. The alternator charges the battery yet you plug the output wore to the + side using a conventional method. This makes no sense as in reality it is the negative the moves towards the positive. If we are to follow this then you are saying that the current moves from positive to negative. This is however incorrect. Im not sure if im missing something down the line. Can someone explain to me please?

@blakebrockhaus347 2 жыл бұрын

2 things 1. While electron theory states that current flows from negative to positive, it's common practice to wire from positive to negative. 2. The alternator casing is touching the engine, which is grounded to the battery. Which is why you don't need a negative wire

On the older style alternator I briefly touched the excite wire directly to power and I didn't have the sense wire hook to anything. It shot up to 14 and a half volts and appear to be working great. So I hooked the excite wire through a switch to power and I turned it on and did not start the engine. One minute later there was smoke coming from the alternator. I quickly disconnected the excite wire from the alternator . I started it up and tried to briefly touch the excite wire to power again and the alternator will no longer work. I thought the excite wire was supposed to be in line to power with a light bulb or a resistor. I didn't use a light bulb or resistor did I ruin the alternator or did it coincidentally break on its own?

@SiriusSolar 5 жыл бұрын

It's like a one-way valve in a water pipe. Except it's for electricity. So with the diode there where he put it electricity can only flow One Direction Through the Wire. Otherwise the alternator would make electricity and send electricity back Through the Wire and it would power anything that was hooked to it. That's a problem when you try and turn the key off and everything still has power then you can't really shut it off can you? The diode stop this from happening and enables you to shut off the engine and everything else when you turn the key off
