Alt. wiring questions.

[~The Jester~]

1 wire alternators SUCK. Sorry to burst your bubble there bro. Remote sensing "3" wire is the way to go, although I only have 2 hooked up to my "3" wire alt.

Basically it's like this. Alt is mounted on the motor? Yep! Battery is in the trunk? Yep! Battery cable runs ALLLLLLL the way back up front? Yep!

So, with a remote sensing "3" wire alternator, if I hook my "S" wire from the volatge regulator (external) up to the point WAAAAAY up front from the battery, I can make my Alt. put +14V AT THAT POINT.


My Gawd, I should write a book! Gonna Teach 82GT all about fuel systems, and evidently I learnt myself a thing or 2 about charging systems in the process too! See what happens when your car is down for 2 years, and all you have to do is research!

I gotta headache now....... Off for a beer!

P.S. I "hid" my regulator behind the passenger's side shock tower. Down by the sub-frame.

I'm NOT trying to be cocky, but just trying to save you young bucks a trip down a road I've already been on. PLEEEEEEEZ don't take this as abusive, cuz it's SOOOOOOOO NOT! Just lookin at the same "mistakes" I've made in the past.....
