The purpose of polarizing a generator is to put a little magnetism
into the field coils. You do that by touching the field and battery wires
momentarily. I don't see how touching the Arm wire to the Bat wire can put
energy through the field coils to create magnetism.
I'll stick with touching the FLD wire to Bat if I ever work on a Ford
generator system again.

Well, that's 3 that support the armature touching battery and 3 that vote
for the field touching the battery...total confusion!

Kirk and List
I just found a VR behind my computer desk (yes, Im single and there are lots
of Beam parts in the living room) NEway, the cover on the regulator states.
"Before starting engine momentarily connect "BAT" terminal to "GEN" (which
is marked ARM on the lug but GEN on the cover)to properly polarize
generator".
Sounds like my rebuild shop was right but my younger mechanic wrong. Tony
