24v generator to 24v alternator

[4STARDAD]

Good afternoon... I'm (regretfully) having to swap out my Tornado and putting in a Chevy inline 6...I would rather stay 24v because all my lights function as they should....can I run a 24v alternator in place of the 24v generator? The alternator will bolt right up and I'm getting a 24v starter. Then the only modification is the 24v to 12v reducer on the coil. Thanks

Are you asking if you can use a Delco style 24v alternator instead of mounting the M715 unit on your GM engine? Sure, that is a good idea.

Awesome...so it should do the same right?

Yes. Probably better than the old design.

Just didn't wanna fool with the wiring. All the lights function as they should and I want to keep it as original as possible. Can get a GM 24 volt starter that'll bolt right up to the Novak bellhousing. Now my only problem is the distributor. Is there a way to get the distributor over to 24 volt?

Well if you were using a V8 GM engine I would suggest using a distributor from a M114 APC (it had a 283). To retain the GM set up, there are 24/12 converters available.

Thank you...using a 230 inline 6

Is there a such thing as a wiring diagram for the M715?

Sure, dig around in the “TM download” section of this website, it will be a appendix of a manual ending in -20, -24, or -34. I can’t recall which.

Thank you

Unfortunately I am incorrect, this site does not have M715 manuals, you will have to go to M715zone.

I'm sorry, but how do I access that? Thank you for the help
