My sportwagon may need an alternator. the alt light is on but dim. don't know if the alt is bad or ??? It seems to be charging not running off the battery.

What is involved in the conversion to a 1-wire alternator.

I have this on v-8 because they have a dedicated vendor section(maybe add one on here?):confused4: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=89861
The internal cs-130 105 amp is the one i recomend unless your running dual radiator fans,electric fuel pump,etc,then step up to the 140amp.I also have the conversion harness so you can run the idiot light without cutting/splicing/butchering the harness:LAUGH: BTW,FREE SHIPPING to lower 48(for now).
