We've been busy with the electrical end of things for several weekends now. I took on the alternator myself while dad sorted out the factory wiring.
Dad assembled a slick little panel for the ignition components with breakers and relays for fans, water pump and fuel pump. He pulled the breakers and relays out of an old Freightliner in his boneyard. Dads ability to make chicken salad out of chicken shit always surprises me. I took some 18ga plate and made inserts for the stock instrument panel so we could mount switches and gauges.
I picked up a 3G alternator for a 95' Mustang at my local NAPA. It's a 135 amp large frame variety. To convert it to a true one wire alternator I found a conversion voltage regulator on eBay. I also clocked the output post around to a more suitable location. Easy peasy. The crank pulley is a March 7611. It's for a BB Chevrolet so it took some whittling. The lower arm is a Summit G4049B universal alternator arm. I had to cut a few inches off and drill a new hole in it. The belt is a Dayco 5060295 6 rib belt. Credit to Jay for passing along these part numbers to me. It turned out to be a pretty slick alternator assembly.

When this FE was in my Highboy, I used a stock type starter with a truck bellhousing and had to grind just a bit on the back screw in freeze plug. Now with a C6, the starter location is way closer to the block. Not even close to working. So we have a CVR starter coming with a smaller, clockable motor. We suspect the Genesis block has some extra beef on it causing our issue. Edit: Just remembered.....The starter mounting holes in the C6 bellhousing and the clearance holes in the shield plate were an issue also. Tolerances are getting stacked somehow. Along with the burly wall on the block. It's quite a bit thicker than a FoMoCo block.
With the electrical end of this project close to completion, we're on to the the fuel system now.
