Alternator Replacement for LJ-80
Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2004 2:22 pm
Just put a Sammi alternator on an LJ-80. Why? "Cause I hadda Sammi alternator and I'm cheap!
It was easy. Bolts right up. Hadda use a Sammi belt.
The wiring is different, 'cause the Sammi has a built in regulator and the 80 has an external regulator. I just hooked up the battery wire as was, and ran a new wire from the "Ign" terminal on the alternator to the ignition side of the coil. Works like a charm. You can even put in a jumper from the "L" terminal of the alternator to the existing wiring harness and then jumper two wires in the connector at the existing voltage regulator and make the charge light work juss like it's supposed to. Otherwise, just unplug the voltage regulator and leave it.
Anybody want more details, drawings, or color codes, juss lemme know.
