I have a charging problem on my 69 2000 and have traced it back to the alternator
I figure if I was ecer going to do the swap now would be the time.
How hard is it?
How much stuff and $$ is involved?
And does anyone have a pic of one installed in a high windshield?
Thanks in advance

Easy, If:
1) You have an idea what it should look like when you are done.
2) You don't make it harder than it really is.
I didn't really have 1 when I started, and I sure did 2. So I wrote up a beginners guide to the GM conversion.

Steve posted it in the 311s tech electircal tech area. You can look at the electrical tech main page for a link to his write up for earlier cars. He included part numbers and extra details that may come in handy.
Cost? $30-$100 depending on what alt you get, and if you need to buy the smog pump mount from someone.
Good luck, and remember to unhook the battery.
