Matthew:
First of all if you want some info on how 3 wire alternators work or should
be installed there is a lot of info at the following website
http://www.madelectrical.com/index.shtml The system on my roadster
provides power to a central block (not to the battery) the battery charge
comes from the central block, the sensing wire from the alternator #2 goes
to the central block as well to sense power requirements there, the wire
from #1 on the alternator goes to gauge and light on the dash. A power wire
goes from the block to the main fuse box. My headlights are served by two
relays, powered from the main fuse box. All my systems are protected by
fusable links at the main power block. In my Datsun's case I did not use Mad
Electrical's products but I have seen them used on another car and they seem
to be of good quality.
I have a very reliable system as long as grounds are cleaned and making a
good connection.
Hope this helps.
Fred
