What disconnect did you use?I just did the conversion to a Delco 33I alternator, 24v and 100amps. I already had a Bussman 100A converter/equalizer that I was using to equalize the two batteries (as soon as they were connected in series, the one battery would drain the other down). Rather than an ignition switch, I installed a keyed switch that turns on batteries remotely through an electronic disconnect and I also installed one between the two batteries. Now when the key is off, no electricity can flow anywhere, including between the two batteries. So the equalizer has been unnecessary since I did that, but when my regulator stopped working on my last trip, I decided to look for alternatives and since I already had the converter, it worked out great.
The new alternator has much narrower lugs, so I machined a slot for the rear lug in the original mount and machined a bushing to fit between the fwd lug and mount, to give it the correct back spacing.
I was also able to get rid of the PPD sinView attachment 896485View attachment 896486View attachment 896487View attachment 896488ce the Bussmann unit already has it inside. I can happily report that it's working great!View attachment 896485View attachment 896486View attachment 896485View attachment 896486View attachment 896487
