OEM Converter in my Argy26?

Chopper · 09-14-2006, 08:06 PM

Hi all,

The following pictures are from my '74Argy26 deconstruction project. Is this a factory arrangement? I haven't moved anything, it was like that behind the bathroom closet. I am going to rewire everything but the electrical system is something I'm totally unfamiliar with and will have to study up on.

Thanks!

Yep that's the original it is called a Univolt. I throw them as far as I can, the technology is old and they have a tendency to boil bateries dry.
Second thought there are some people who might buy it. You never know try Ebay.

Gary -- Second thought is to take it down to the bait shop and sell it as an anchor. Chopper, search the forums on 'bestconverter' -- we have a commercial vendor who sells Intellipower with the Charge Wizard that is much more modern and better controlled. Search on those latter terms also.

Thanks for the leads. I'll make sure to investigate the upgrades. In the meantime, anyone here want this and the fuse box?

Cheers!

Don't unload the fuse box! I haven't done this but understand you need to re-use that item. Ask more questions -- we'll see if anyone more knowledgeable can fill you in. Certainly ask Randy -- he's the commercial vendor mentioned above.

Thanks, I'm getting ahead of myself here. I am so much into wanting to get building that I'm hurrying the "taking apart". I need the fuse box? I was going to upgrade that item too, but I'll see about some more thread-searching and answers.

In the meantime, I'm learning about 7-pin wiring and thinking about what to do about all those wires my buddy snipped during the deconstruction of the interior! That's why I'm thinking I should redo the wiring completely afresh instead of chasing down the cut ends.

Cheers!

You can get a new WFCO converter with a new fuse box that uses the newer spade type automotive fuses if you don't want to keep the original.......just need to connect a few more wires.
