Greg,
What's the model number of the alternator. On mine, there are three
connections on the rear of the alternator and it is internally regulated.
Take the back off the alternator. The regulators are approx 1" x 1" x 3/8"
with either 2 or 4 (from memory so...) wires coming out of a wax (resin?)
sealer. I'm sure the lists will correct me if I'm wrong.
Michael

I need to hook up the alternator in my spit-6 autocrosser. All the original
wiring is long since gone (removed hastily with no notes on where anything
goes - oops) I have one of the Lucas alternators with the three connector
plug-in. It has the black plastic cover on the back.
Joe Curry tells me this is an internally regulated alternator-he said he
would look at the wiring on his car for me but he is understandably busy
with his move, and I would like to get it hooked up so I can go racing this
weekend.
I looked at the wiring diagrams on the web page that someone posted (very
nice, BTW), but they appear to have a two wires coming from alternator, and
one of them goes to a "control box", whatever that is (regulator??)
I don't claim to know how this stuff works, but I can hook wires up if I
know what needs to be connected to what. Anyone out there have some ideas?
Thanks, Greg Adams
