2) what wiring do i need to do? i know that it has been said just make a jumper wire for the plug to the external regulator but what terminals

I swapped in an internally regulated Alt in my 620 awhile back. Bought one for a 81 510 & it puts out 60 amps. I had to buy a different belt,,smaller or bigger i forgot but if u want ill get you the part # & brand. I simply cut 2 wires off the plug that went to the voltage regulator & ran them down to the Alt. Your wires may be different colors but either way i can show you which 2 i cut. You may wanna do a search on the 510realm too, i wanna say theres a diagram showing what wires to cut & run to the alt.

i did the saturn alt swap in my goon and its very simple.. and trust me i hate electircal shit....

 

for the saturn alt swap u have to grind and grind and grind the bottom mount for the alt.. then u swap the pulleys so that the pully from the old alt is on the saturn one... and then u buy a turnbuckle from osh and use it for the top mount......

 

as for wiring i dont remember all the details... but yea thats basically it..... sorry if this isnt helpful i have been drinking :blink: anyways there are a bunch of right ups on here for this particular swap

 

ok time for beer pong :)

I just installed a 2004 ka24de frontier alternator on my car. It is the newest application I could find that still used a v-belt. Bolts right in, aside from needing to get a longer lower bolt(you may also have to drill out the lower mount to 10mm if you haven't already done that). As for wiring I made a new charge harness from the alt to the starter, including fusible links, and made an adapter harness for the alt plug. I also made the regulator jumper harness. It is a 70 amp alternator, which is plenty for me. It is also an internal fan alt, which I think cleans up the engine compartment over an external fan.

photos of this Frontier alternator upgrade would be nice with connectors

[Unclejesse88]

The alt looks just like the supposed "90 amp" that icehouse posted in his how to thread. As for the wiring, it is a "t" connector (female) on one end and the new style alt connector on the other, about four inches long maybe. The regulator jumper is a female 6-pin regulator connector with two jumper wires. This makes for complete plug and play except for the new charge harness. All of the connectors can be bought at http://www.vintageconnections.com/ I do have a blurry photo of the harnesses made, but no way of posting them.
