Hi folks, anyone want to check my process for swapping these? The newer type have internal regulation (no more relays) and better output at low speeds.

ISOLATE THE BATTERY
1. Isolate the alternator relay control circuit at the 6RA relay:
Disconnect and make safe the brown wire to C1 from +12V permanent
Disconnect and make safe the white wire to W1 from +12V ignition
2. Disconnect the field control from the 11AC
Disconnect the brown/purple field + control wire
Disconnect the brown/green - control wire
3. Physically replace the 11AC with the A127.
Disconnect the brown +12V battery wire
Disconnect the brown/yellow indicator light wire.
SWAP THE ALTERNATOR
Reconnect the +12V connection
Reconnect the brown/yellow wire that was to AL to the IND terminal
4. Bridge the 3AW Ignition Light relay.
Connect the yellow wire to the brown/yellow wire (inline spade connector should do it).
