jrichker StangNet's favorite TOOL In Remembrance. Thank you for your contributions Mar 10, 2000 27,512 2,813 234 Dublin GA Aug 12, 2008 #2 Aug 12, 2008 #2 All I can find are the 3G install instructions. They are the same with the exception of adding the 4 gauge fused power lead. Tech note courtesy of SwAmPf0x: How to wire a 3G in an 85 or earlier Mustang cut and paste from an old post of mine... There are 4 wires to the voltage regulator, cut the plug off the regulator, extend the 2 wires used to the alt and cap off the other 2 The F will not be used. The I will not be used. The S will go to the 3G The A will go to the 3G wiring on the 3g side The Big post on the back goes to the solenoid, same side as the battery, a fuse is recommended on this wire, also up the wire size to 4ga minimum Now for the 3 wire plug...wires A,S,I A goes to A from the old external regulator S goes to the stator connector on the 3G I goes to S from the old external regulator __________________
