Everything to do the RVIC is explained here, all my diagrams and winding instructions are proven correct, except for the trifilar/bifilar detail, I don't know the wire gage, turns, or diodes yet, once I get the Stator cleared of the old windings (which is quite the job since I don't want to burn it off) then I can play around with how much wire I can fit in the coil holes, I said I'm thinking 30 gage, but I am not settled yet. The diodes I am thinking MUR1560, but I am not settled yet. I am thinking I'll wind the chokes bifilar and the secondary alone, and stick them in, this detail was clearly from the recent picture Dynodon posted.
The alternator I have looks almost exactly like Stan's, there are a few differences with the brushes, but everything else is the same, the alternator was easy to take apart and everything was simple and straight forward, I think Stan knew what he was looking for when he chose this alternator. It's a lot bigger than the Delco Remy too, it's huge!
I imagine you could use any alternator you want though, this one looks like it will be a 'nice' alternator to work with, everything is set up nice and simple, especially for all the input/output connections. I would say grab a new alternator so you don't have to destroy your old one. Then again, go right for the proper Ford Alternator, because if you're going to figure out Stan, you should follow the details as close as possible, I am clearly going to be happy working with this alternator over any other kind I could pull apart, I took apart a dodge alternator and it was fairly horrible compared to the Delco, and the Ford was the easiest by far.
I'll need to build a winding jig too, once I figure out the sizes and such for the coils.
