Hi I have a 1967 Chevy C10 pickup with a brand new motor in it, but I dont know how to do the conversion from generator to alternator. I do not have that much experience and I would be more than grateful for someones help.

If you want to keep it simple, you could just run a one wire alternator. Alternator -> battery..

I already have the alternator and a brand new engine Im sorry but I dont know anything about it if u tell me where I can find out what kind of alternator I have I can tell you.

1967 year models already had alternators not generators. If originality is not an issue I agree with wheeliE. One wire hook up and you are good to go.

What does that mean Im really sorry but all I really know about cars is basic like the cycles of the engine and what all the mechanical stuff does Im really sorry, but I do not know what this means, I have been told by four or five people that I needed to make the switch from generator to alternator I have two white wires coming out of the alternator, and a blue and a white wire that are connected to a plastic part that look like they have something to do with the alternator.

Just go to autozone and ask for an alternator for your truck.

Alright. You need to figure out what alternator you have. 10SI? 12SI? CS130? CS144? Internally or externally regulated?
