Motorola 12 V 37 Amp 2 Wire alternator help

« **on:** July 01, 2013, 06:24:17 AM »

I have a 460 Ford running a 2 wire Motorola 37 A model # MR12N451D that is only running on about 10 volts on the gauge. I pulled it off and took it to have it test at 2 places and neither (pep boys or O'Reilly) place could do it. Is there a easy switch from this 2 wire system to a 1 wire or should I purchase a new one or have this one rebuilt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

did u use a volt meter and test the alternator on the boat. if u have a weak cell in the battery it will read low on the guage. if it is the alternator rebuild it yourself. the parts are available at napa or carquest.

i have a motorola 2 wire that worked when i replaced it with my 100+ amp (running dual batteries and a stereo now). swing by and pick it up. id rather someone used it than throwing it in the trash.
