I am just in the process of trying to get the alternator wired up to the regulator properly. The car used to have a voltmeter, but this has since been removed and I have found that the stator wire from the alt to the reg has also been removed. At present I can run another wire from the alt to the reg box no problem, but the connections at the reg have me confused. They are labelled from the top down where the plastic connector fixes ...
top ... plastic tab missing (so no letter) and also no connection
second ... (A) which is at present going to the hot side of the solenoid
third ... (S) which is going to the main disconnect green/red wire .. to the indicator bulb I presume.
fourth ... (F) which is going by a white wire to the alt field connector
In my mind (and trying to decipher the wiring diagram) the green/red wire should be on the top connection and the stator connection on the alt should go to the third (S) connector.
Is this correct?
When I put a meter on the battery with the motor running it was reading 17 volts or so and one supposedly good battery is now flat.
Any help appreciated.
BTW there is an earth on the reg box.
