Title: 66' ALTERNATOR
Post by: MERDO-FORD on October 01, 2013, 04:53:55 pm: JUST WONDERING IF SOME ONE OUT THERE CAN TAKE A PIC OF THEIR EXTERNAL REG ALTERNATOR WIRING FOR ME.
MY WIRING HAS A T SHAPED RUBBER BOOT WITH TERMINAL LUGS... BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY ARE ON THE CORRECT WAY.
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR SURE SO WHEN I PUT MY NEW CHROME ALTERNATOR ON IT IS CORRECT.

Looks nice mate.

This might be a dumb question
but that alternator looks like a modern type/style
Are you sure it doesn't have a regulator built in.

Why don't you bolt it on, but don't hook up the wires and stat it up and see what voltage it pumps out?
