Just did a 2g to 3g alternator on my 1990 F-350 7.5l. My imp runs an old school 1G series Ford with external regulation. I’ve noticed with both heaters running and headlights on, voltage drops quite a bit and eventually I think it would cease to keep up with amperage draw. I’m strongly considering the same 3g 130A conversion to my imp as the 3g has a similar sized case that should fit without modifying the doghouse or alternator shroud, and it eliminates a bunch of existing wiring. I would like to eventually have a removable winch on my setup.
Has anyone out in Imp or ford v-4 land converted to a one wire or 3g alternator and if so, do the V-4’s have enough ooomph to power them at idle rpm’s??
