Hey guys, I am helping my brother with a 351w conversion into a '93 4 cyl. We are using the stock wiring for the alternator and as it turns out, the alternator on the 4 banger is on the driver's side and the alternator for the V8 is on the passenger side. Hence, a need to extend the wires for the Alternator and re-route them.
So, like an idiot, I cut the cable for the alternator plugs without first noticing that there are two identical wires (black w/orange stripes) on the main plug. I am asuming these are the load bearing wires, as they are a larger guage than the other three wires for the two plugs. I figured all the wires would be distinctly marked.
I have reviwed the wiring diagrams for the alternator and, for this plug, they only show one wire going into the alternator (black w/orange stripe). I need to know if it matters which way i splice these two wires back together (i.e. can it be a problem if when I reconnect them I end up crossing them from the original line). Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
