    Yes he could,but the 150 amp external regulator alternator is much more reliable and will mount where his stock Delcotron is without any modification.This alternator is standard on a lot of medium duty GM trucks(366CI engine or bigger) Look I was a truck driver for years,drove every make & model you can think of.I ought to know since I've had to repair these while on the road.
    Now I an assuming that this van has a 350 CI engine (Small block Chevy V8)
    The vans I did(the 2 Aerostars) presented it's own set of problems.The 2nd one,BTW was 4WD.Modifying a GM alternator to fit a Ford V6 1990->3.0 v6 out of 2002 Ford Ranger & a 4.0 in the 1992 4WD model - took some doing,making a custom mounting bracket and electrical hookups and making that freaking serpentine belt fit right.

    Hell,I modded a 1973 VW Beetle to take a 1 wire Delcotron when I could no longer get exact replacement parts for it.So I know what I'm talking about.It has electric heat for winter instead of the old choke-you-to-death-on-fumes exhaust manifold setup

    I still drive the Bug around.It has that funny semi-automatic transmission.(Automatic Stick shift,I think they call it.Boils down to an electric clutch instead of a mechanical one) The 1 wire Decotron has worked perfectly for 20 years now with no problems

  15. Options on Ask Slashdot: How To Add New Tech To Old Van? · · Score: 1

    Use a 2nd battery to run the auxiliary equipment,making sure to have a battery isolator to keep the starting battery separate.
    Change the stock 80 amp alternator to a 120 amp or better alternator.You will have to use an external regulator on it.\
    I did such customizations to a 1990 and 1992 Ford Aerostar van.Worked out great

  20. Re:sweet on Canadian Man Releases Open Source Star Trek Tricorder · · Score: 1

    Fix the dollar to the kilowatt?Have you been reading Arthur C.Clarke's "Imperial Earth"?

    I know it is the ST TNG Tricorder.But that doesn't prevent me from trying it out on the original,now does it?

    The Original Tricorder Prop was little more than a modded Cassette tape recorder.Just like the original clam shell communicators operated on channel 14 of the 27 MHZ CB band at 100 mw,powered by a 9 volt battery.Or that the pistol Phasers I have now sport 2.5 watt laser diodes.(that will do until I can get some much more powerful)

    Note:The University Of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington,Ky use a comm badge intercom system virtually identical to the Comm Badges in Star Trek TNG.

    Kudos to Dr.Jansen for his creation.

    I've always been a hardware hacker so this will keep me busy for a bit.

    BTW,any chance of getting hold of a small amount of antimatter to power this?

  21. Re:sweet on Canadian Man Releases Open Source Star Trek Tricorder · · Score: 1
