I am putting a delco alternator on my 68 rebel 343v8. I have most of the wiring done but one question. the two wire plug that goes into the alternator, where should I hook up the red wire too. right now I have it hooked to alternator output stud. is that okay?

The answer is right there in the text - The #1 terminal on the GM alternator is what "excites" the
alternator and will operate the dash "charge indicator" light - it is
source from the ignition switch through the dash ALT light bulb, then to
the #1 terminal on the alternator. (a 10 ohm resister is also often
used in parallel with the bulb in case of bulb burnout so it will still
be "excited" and charge)
Note where the orange wire comes from on the AMC wiring harness -
from the ignition switch through the dash ALT bulb. The orange wire as
it connects to the Motorola alternator could be connected to the #1
terminal on the GM alternator. (disconnect the Motorola regulator first,
however) Edited by Mopar_guy - Aug/02/2020 at 3:30pm |

Yes, to the starter relay where the positive battery cable connects. The other responses were, IMO, excellent. |
