M series generator output

I took it down to my alternator shop to see if they could test it and find out if it still works after all these years. He put it on the little machine (1300rpm) and said it was putting out a whopping 36 volts!

Is this normal? Will the original Delco Remy regulator be able to drop that down to the proper 24V?

is this for your m211?

Yes sir, that it be. I spent today going over every wire and found everything to be in great condition, nothing spliced or hacked and only a few clips here and there when the old 302 was removed. It will be PIE getting it back to 24V and the Oldsmobile points ignition should do fine on a converter.

Read the thread about 24v power supply. It may help If you think your regulator is not up to the job of putting out 24v.

This is the converter I was going to use for my ignition. Wonder if it will be enough to handle the ignition, a CD player and a 12V tachometer?
