Need a 2210 Alternator and Belt

[normde2001]

If I looked at these right, they only have 2 wire hookups (A and E). Not sure how that will work with my 4 wire voltage regulator

Musr be the wrong one then. . . . I don't know where you are seeing 2 wires. The reg just plugs into the back of the alt., (assuming your reg has the standard plug).

Here are alternators by part#, a 35 and 50 amp, (depending on whether you have air conditioning:laughing. Of course, we adult males don't have to be reminded to hang onto the core until you are sure everything is exact, including the pulley.
Clemson, what site has the printable coupons? I'm in Advance Auto a couple times a week.

These are online only, sorry, but i found them by an add that poped up. I was on other sites and currently had an advance window open so the adds that were generated on all the sites i visited had to do with that cookie i guess cause everywhere i went i got an add to save 40% at advance.

Well, this is what the WEB site came up with for 1972 Datsun 510 alternator and the other pic is the back of the original Yanmar alternator.

Does this YM240 (YM2000) wiring diagram apply to your Yanmar?

I don't remember but I think a couple of those regulator wires both go to the same terminal on the alternator - probably frame ground and the ground for the internal coils, or something.

At any rate that chart is for my YM240, and the Datsun alternator was a perfect replacement.

Looks the same except I don't have the safety switch for the clutch and the ignition switch only has 3 terminals. Everything else looks to be the same.

The Datsun alternator looks to only have the larger wire to the starter and one small blade connector on the back.

 

[normde2001]

You got me. I know it works on the YM240 and Ym2000, and according to Hoye, the YM1900 is supposed to be the same.
Maybe the difference is in the harness between the reg and alt. California, did you replace the alternator or just the regulator, and plug it into the existing harness? Which pic does the back of your alt look like? Mine is not handy.

The add keeps coming up here on this site as part of the google doubleclick ads on the side. I guess its cause their cookie is in my browser and or that i have an advance page minimized right now so its trying to entice me to buy. There is also furniture adds that keep coming up cause my wife has been looking at it, beds to be specific and its showing me ads for like furnature . com and showing beds? Amazing those software add folks isnt it.

Mine's not handy either. I'm laid up in town, doped stupid waiting for kidneystone surgery. I hope I'm making sense.

At any rate, the alternator and regulator were each like-for-like replacements for the old components. The wire colors coming off the regulator were non-Yanmar but the correct signal came out on each connector pin so the regulator simply plugged into the existing harness.

My memory is vague, especially right now, but I think the Yanmar alternator had an extra protective shield over the connectors at the back that wasn't used on the Datsun version.

I may not be remembering this correctly but I think there was one blade connector, one screw connector to an insulated terminal, and one screw connector to the alternator back cover for ground.

And one of those three terminals had double wires from the harness going into the crimped connector just before it connected to the alternator.

I think I had to look at that wiring diagram and identify the wire functions by wire color before I attached the wires to A, F, G, or whatever they are called, but it all bolted right up.

I hope this made sense. I've never made so many typos in my life. :confused2:

I feel your pain. I too have bouts with kidney stones. Hopefully I never have to have the surgery. Best of luck to you and I hope it goes well.

Your explanation helps. One of the 4 wires on the back of the alternator is just a ground wire that runs to the VR. That still leaves 3 to deal with. I'm going to get one of the Datsun alternators and hope I can figure out where the 3rd wire goes. Thanks and hope to see you back up and running again soon.
