We are safe. But Barnsdall, a town 20 miles away, took a direct hit. We watched on TV as the rotation started SW of us and tracked about 15 miles west of us and then watched as it made a beeline to Barnsdall. And they are guessing it was an EF3 with a debris field to 20,000 feet in the air. Then it went right up to Bartlesville. Barnsdall is a burgh but Bartlesville is a major city in OK. Now there is another storm firing up near Wagoner, which is where John/Machspeed is. Just texted him and he's ok - so far.

I have no news from Bob/Rocketman… I sent him my NOS ammeter for conversion, and tracking is confirming the delivery on last April 26th. I emailed Bob to be sure everything is ok on his side, no sound, no image. If you go look at Will's thread you'll find that I have the wires to the voltmeter backwards! He had to reverse them. For you it may be easiest to swap the two wires in the connector that goes into the cluster as that is fairly easy to do. That way there's no change to the wiring I sent you.

This is critical info, as I'll need to change the schematic. And the harness that Jeff has apparently has the wiring backward. Probably the easiest way to fix it is to swap the wires at the connector into the cluster as those pins are easy to remove. But I need to change the schematic if Rocketman confirms this is the way he's sending the voltmeters.

WHYDTYTT: What Have You Done To Your Truck Today?
Gary Lewis replied to Gary Lewis's topic in Bullnose Enthusiasts Forum
Looks good! Should be a really nice engine. -
Yep, I'm here and you are there, Mike, on the map. Welcome! Glad you joined. We are glad you are here and are looking forward to following your journey.

Jeff - It is on its way. And, by the way, here's a revised drawing from Will's thread called Alternator Upgrade Related Questions (was One-Wire Alternator Questions). He pointed out the lack of the w/bk wire wrapping from the 3-wire connector to the stator lug, so I changed that. And he asked about the big yellow wire going to the starter relay or the megafuse, so I show it can go either place. Does that make sense?

Good job! I agree with Jim, the pulley & nut doesn't seem to want to come off. I don't have a lock washer and I'm not sure I used Loctite - on this one. (Jim - I think it was the alternator for Dad's truck where I worked the pulley over in the lathe. That's the dual-belt one that I widened one sheave so it'll take the same belt.) But I'm not sure what you mean by "white/black loop between the two 3G connectors". I do show the w/bk wire, but not two connectors. Can you help me understand?

Rethinking The 3G Conversion Pages/Process
Gary Lewis replied to Gary Lewis's topic in Bullnose Enthusiasts Forum
Ford seemed to like to parallel two smaller wires than using one large wire. Maybe for flexibility? Just terminate both of them to the same place. -
The diagram below is from the 1985 EVTM but should be the same as yours if you have factory A/C. But if your line under the hood was broken you'll only have Defrost. However, you shouldn't have open ports under the dash either.

I've used really small brass tubing to act as a joint between pieces of vacuum tubing. And even used it to go through the grommet in the firewall. Not sure if I drilled a new hole in the grommet and pushed it through or pushed the old hose out of the grommet with it, but it worked.
