Product Description

EMPI Alternator Conversion Kit for Type 1, 1200(40 Horse)-1600cc based engines. Replace your 12 Volt generator with a modern alternator. This kit comes complete with a new EMPI 55 Amp Alternator and includes a stand, strap and 3-piece backing plate set. Please remember to order a new Alternator Fan Belt (available above) as your old generator belt will not work. If you are replacing a 6 Volt Generator you will need a 12 Volt Pulley as well (available above).

If you are converting from a 6 Volt System to a 12 Volt System, click here for our 6 to 12 Volt Conversion Kit. This alternator is internally regulated!

If your VW has an externally regulated alternator, it will not be reused and your wiring must be modified. If your VW has a generator, the original voltage regulator for it must be removed and the wiring for it must be modified.

Helpful Hints









VW Alternator Conversion Wiring

For an internally regulated alternator to operate, the D+ terminal must be wired to the negative side of a warning light bulb. A standard, incandecsent light bulb must be used. An LED light does not draw enough current to turn on the regulator in the alternator. The positive side of the light bulb should be powered by a key hot circuit.

Shipping

Our shipping policy is as follows:
We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on orders between $50 and $100 will be $9.95, and freight on orders between $0 and $49.99 will be $7.50.
