stator wire..where does it go?

82 GT · 07-02-2001, 10:34 PM

Ok, I finally broke down and replaced my wiring harness that was fried last year. I got one from the junyard and I have everything hooked up and the alternator still does not charge. The alternator and reg. are both good. I didn't hook up the stator wire to the alt. because I looked at other cars in the junkyard and it looks like it only goes to the carb. or something stupid like that. Right now I only have the field and power wire connected. Do I need that stator wire for it to work correctly?
Just where does that wire go? It didn't look important from what I noticed at the junkyard.
If I don't get this figured out soon then I am going to get a high output alt. from PowerMaster with a one wire hook up and be done with it!
