citjet Posted February 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2009 I am finishing the alternator upgrade from MSA on my 72 240. The PO had already installed a 50 amp Hitachi unit but had made no changes to wiring. My question is do you have to switch over what I believe is an external condenser from the previous unit to the new one? The new alt did not come with this part, and I have searched to try to find anyone else with this problem with no answer. These are too expensive to burn up so I want to get it right. The pictures show the wiring before the swap and I have highlighted the part in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted February 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2009 The condenser it there, from what I understand, to cut down on radio noise. I don't think the lack of it would cause any problems other than that. If it were me, however, I'd install it on the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citjet Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks, I think that I will go pick up a new one while I'm at it, it looks like they are pretty cheap.I have two of these 50 amp alternators, one is NIB the other I just pulled off if anyone is interested.
