1969 jeep cj5 alternator

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a CJ I'm bringing back to life.  I recently bought a new alternator for it but am having trouble wiring it.  From what I've seen online it is the 35 amp motorola (knock off).  Much like another poster, the new one doesn't match up exactly.  I've read all sorts of posts but don't seem to apply to jeep CJ.  Basically CJ has 2 output wires which both go to the big post.  Green goes to field, black ground obviously can go to the random bolts for grounding.  However, my wiring diagram (and way the old one was hooked up) show the other two wires both going to the same post.  Question is which one?  I borrowed this pic from another poster.  My instinct tells me to hook both wires to the post next to the out put (going clockwise). . .

the one I took out is just like one on left and new one identical to one on right in above threat.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks
