While were on the subject of alternators I thought I might ask Where
do the wires go on a three wire alternator.... I have one in my woods
truck that has been cobbled up some... PO has spliced both wires
(one large,one small) from the common terminal plug at the
back of the alternator together and that goes to the battery the
other big wire from the single terminal disappears into a wire loom I
suppose I could just look in a wiring diagram book but I thought what
the heck someone out there knows these things off the top of his
head...Is it ok to leave the wires spliced together?...
Thanks in Advance (As in Advanced Design)
