390 caddy gen. on my sbc

i have a good runnin 62 390 caddy in my yard, and im planning on using the generator off of it on my sbc....not a generator guy, so my question is...
will there be any conflict? ill be runnin lights and gauges only on the coupe, where the caddy has everydamn thing you could think of that is electric ie: seats , windows., etc......want to make sure for i go buildin brackets and whatnot, that its not goin to be ubber powerful, and blowin fuses....

 

thats what voltage regulators are for. and you can buy small block gen mounts. also, early sbc exhaust manifolds(55-62?) have gen mounts on them.

 

so, i get a reg for the caddy gen, or are they all the same on gm products?

 

yeah, i think the only difference is the amp output.

 

alrighty....ill be running lake headers.. do they make a gen bracket for that setup???

 

i had a gen bracket on mine. but it was welded on.


me and my friend made a mount on his SBC to put a gen on top of the intake in front of the carb, like a flathead. it looked bitchen too! wish i had pictures of it still.

 

Don't forget to spark (polarize) it by jumpin' the leads!

yeah, field to arm on the regulator. just a quick touch*

 

ill take a look at the one on the caddy! i may be able to grind the hell out of it and make it work! ill have to go look when the rain stops.....thanks for the helps!

 

NO !! Not on a Delco/GM Arm.[or Gen] to Bat. Power to field on GM bye-bye regulator.

 

ahh! good call.....and just and fyi, rp[ kropduster on here] now has the motor so its not for sale....but, if he doesnt stop drunk dialing me, it might be for sale!!! LOL

 

You could always use a V-Dub generator.

oops! good save, i forgot that was ford way of doing it.

 

i had 2 pm's on the motor...RP had decided not to run the motor...so hopefully the 2 that pm's me will see this....sorry guys, pm's have been deleted.......
