So next on the list is to ditch my generator for an alternator. I'm going to keep my Ford a Ford. The problem is I've always used a Delco three wire.



I know what "BAT" is. I know that one goes to the + on the starter solenoid.



Next is a post (marked STA) with a white wire.



A post (marked AA) with a green wire.



Then a pigtail with a red wire (marked CC)



Finally a stud (marked BB) with a black wire. I assume this is a ground.



So thats the alternator back. I was told to take the wire from the AMP tab on the voltage regulator and combine it with the wire on the BAT tab. Then connect the larger gauge wire from the generator back (BAT) to the BAT post on the new alternator. I don't have an idiot light in my dash for the generator but I want one. Can anyone tell me how to wire all this up correctly?



Made all my brackets tonight just need to get it wired. I hate electrical. Thanks.
