My dad has a 74' standard that we have been working on, we bought it with no engine, we bought a 1776 from BAP, it has an alternater, do we have to do anything to the wiring on the 74' to make it work with an alternater? becuase i know the most VWs up until around 72 or so used generators still right?

wiring changes. I'm sure Speedy Jim can
Thanks, Ben ! :-)
Exille's BAP probably has an internally regulated Alt. Go to the Electrical section of my web site and look for: " Wiring diagram for Type I cars with alternator."
Under the back seat (where the orig Alt regulator was) there will be a Blu wire from the front harness. Splice this to the skinny Red wire which goes to the orig alternator 3-prong plug. Remove old regulator. Connect skinny Red wire (in the 3-prong plug) to D+ on the new Alt.
Done.
