This is first video of yours that I have watched. Great video! I will certainly check out your other videos. Thank you for the time that you put into creating the videos. These are extremely helpful!
hey man, I'm not sure if you still do UA-cam or not. I just wanted to let you know that the videos you've done on the vw beetle have been very helpful and informative. thank you!
I had an e-mail notification from you uploading this video! How great to see a new upload! Good helpful information and long video! Please keep uploading and thanks for the video!
Question: I think you had your bug with the clear tail lights at one point, I think that I saw them in one of your old videos: where did you get those clear lenses from? I been looking here in California and online but no luck. Thank you, for all your videos; I like that they are just the facts and all the natural background; the part where the cat comes in is the most important, fundamental even.
Nicely done Mate; 14.5 V @ the B+ of the Alternator, also check the Voltage @ the battery terminals so you know that the charging voltage is sufficient!
Thanks for the tip for the louvers underneath the oil stand I've got an alternator on my car and I'm having problems putting a double barrel on there empi has not manufacture their air intakes properly going to try to go back to a generator to get more space
Your regulator looks like this Computer ECM and is place in newer super beetle 1976 located at where at the relay box atop the old generator but you have change it from alternate conversion pro hardware kit that you can throw it out the generator.
Vw used alternators on the bug since 1973 they were either Bosch or the Motorola brand alternators as 1973-1974 were external regulators. 1975-1979 were internal with the motorola mounted on top of the alternator. as the discontinued Bosch Al82N is internal its located at the fan side bearing cover. as aftermarket companies are making the Al82N if you use this alternator your warning light has to work if you are using an LED warning light you have to use a load equalizer resistor for it to charge.
Not entirely true. Alternators didn’t start until 74 for Europe and Australia and were only Bosch. US market got Motorola alts in mid 73, early 73 were still generators.
How are your fresh air hoses attached? Is it just a slip fit on the shroud outlets and heater boxes? Never seen a fresh air setup like that and now I want to copy you.
@@BoostedVW my mechanic said that he can’t fit the alternator in due to it hitting the intake manifold. I already bought the parts. Should I get a second opinion? Have you seen this issue? Is he being lazy? It looks close but I can’t tell. Thank you
An alternator won’t charge without a dummy light. If you want to run without one you’ll need to wire in a resistor but then you won’t know if there’s a problem- snapped belt, not charging etc.
THere are some pretty poor quality ones out of China on the market, the biggest issue with them is the bearings failing. If you can replace the bearings before they have a big failure they can be ok.
The big black wire connect in between battery one post and alternator 2012, second yellow wire connect to internal regulator diode. Third is bring up the green wire to the transistor inside the alternator regulator. And where is the rest of the red wire for ignition connect positive coil 12 volts temporally primary circuit and negative connection ignition orange wire. The long white wires for head light and tail light Volkswagen no AC cooler super beetle. Maybe a automatic transmission to the rear engine instead 4 speed transmission from Westphalia super stock modified Wolfsburg at Porsche Spicer Detroit Duesenberg modern Custom Craft.
This is EXACTLY what I need! Thank you for taking the time to show us how you did it!!

Thank you!! you got me through this job, I couldn't have done it without your instructions!!
Glad all is well mate and glad your back with an update

Very helpful your directions were perfect love it,thanks

Is it the carb or the intake that’s hitting?
Great teaching, Joel. Thank you.
thanks so much mate, best instructions i could find!

Good to see you back
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!
Does the starter wire connect to the battery, power cable that goes to the front and the one from the alternator?

Great videos 👍🏻
I have 73 beetle new generator,new regulator still having problems with charging what else good it be
Excellent! Thank you.
welcome back to youtube land :)

+caliarmyguy hi, they are just standard hoses, those are just stainless steel sleeves over the top designed for radiator hoses
So you are using the stock heater hoses with sleeves over them?
My mechanic says he head to remove the engine, is that legitimate?
Yep, It makes the job a lot quicker, takes twice as long doing it in the car with the lack of room.

@@estimatingonediscoveringthree something isn’t right, maybe bad reproduction parts.
@@BoostedVW jbugs conversation kit
@@estimatingonediscoveringthree I’m in Australia so not used Jbugs but I see non stop complaining about them on Facebook groups
any tips on a looooose grindy gearbox and shifter
so if you dont have a dummy light as mine was re wired with out one is that the same to run
An alternator won’t charge without a dummy light.
If you want to run without one you’ll need to wire in a resistor but then you won’t know if there’s a problem- snapped belt, not charging etc.
@@BoostedVW so im better off just getting a generator agine then so i can keep my same setup
Yes generators don’t need a light but a light is very simple to add just one side to ignition positive and other side to regulator or alternator.
Excellent vid..... Thank you......
How many amp was that alternator
Just stock sized 55amp, car was all stock and didn’t need bigger.
Can I leave my engine on and do this I'm doing it on my sand rail
Merk Merk a rail should haved ample room without taking the engine out
How can I get your answer
Where do i go to get response
are non bosch alternators that bad?
THere are some pretty poor quality ones out of China on the market, the biggest issue with them is the bearings failing.
If you can replace the bearings before they have a big failure they can be ok.
How can you tell an alt between a Genn??
the whole body of generators are the same diameter as the pulley where as alternators are larger in diameter in the center section

chrome don't get you home, I would chuck that dress up crapola tin and put stock pulley and oil bath airfilter on there. VW quality can't be bear.
John Collins if you watch all the vid and look at the thumbnail I have swapped a stock oil bath on but customer wanted chrome tinware left
The actual tinware itself was the original german stuff chrome plated, it was only the pulleys that were aftermarket
Why is the oil bath better?
