John--

You asked if the *housing* needs to be grounded and if your engine is
properly grounded then simply mounting the unit to the engine with metal
fasteners will ground the housing, though you may want to wire brush the
points of contact.

Unless the harness/plug is a one wire setup, which I would guess to be
unlikely since the unit is mimicking original appearance, then one of the
wires will want to go to ground.

      I need so advice as to how alternators work.<br>

      I have just installed a Dynamator (an alternator in a generator
      housing) in my 3000. Wired it as per the instructions but have
      some problems with it.<br>
      <br>
      The ignition does not come on when the ignition key is turned.<br>

      My question is does the generator or alternator housing need to be
      earthed for the unit to function correctly?<br>
