Studebaker - Honda Alternator Swap
Honda Alternator-
If anyone needs an alternator for your 63 to 64 Lark and Hawk, its the same
as Honda CVCC. Its about 30 bucks. It actually fits BETTER then stock, since
it has a sliding sleeve in the rear mount to keep from pinching the altenator
and breaking the casing (anyone had this happen yet??) I can dig up the number
if anyone needs it .... it also looks simular to original.
The Honda one I mentioned is a direct bolt on with no needed modifications to car or altenator. The wiring is easy also.
(Stude alternator wiring: ( this is from a 64 Hawk, yours may differ slightly))
(1)white 14 gauge - alternator ground to VR ground
(2)Yellow 12 gauge with black trailer = Alternator field to VR Field
(3)Red 10 gauge - Alternator BAT to main buss)
Honda wiring to Stude Harness
Ground wire (1) to altenator chassis (there are a few bolts on back)
Power (3) lead to power terminal on Alt
Field (2) slip on connector to "F" terminal
There are two other terminals not used on a Studebaker. The Honda alternator
used a dual amp VR. So it had a high side and a low side. We are only
interested in the high side or 35 amp. Which is the "F" terminal.
