Upon further investigation I found the white wire off the alternator broken and I cannot locate the other end. I due believe it needs to go to the voltage regulator. It is not very obvious witch spot on the regulator to place it. On an other note there is currently a four slot wiring harness installed. I find this odd because I do not have a engine tach. Any help with this would be awesome I have only had the car for about a week. Looking to touch her off but my driving time is very limited here in New England.

the white wire should be the field wire and is marked "F" on the regulator. Where are you in New England, I'm on the Cape in Sandwich.

Thanks for the reply. What I figured out was the previous owner used the orange wire for the field wire. I went ahead and flashed the field and fou my alternator had failed. East Harwich
