Default Re: Excited wire

New regulator? What new regulator? I think I'm getting confused. R terminal-F terminal? Is the new alternator marked like that? Maybe you are discussing what to do with the old regulator wires and the old voltage regulator connector?

My suggestion:
Rip the old out and throw it all away. Wire the alternator as I described. That is a 3 wire hook up. Only 2 wires leave the alternator. The positive from battery and the no. 1 to a bulb then to ignition "on". Third wire: a jumper from 2 to the battery stud. That's it. Those are the three wires. If you don't have a bulb inline and/or you don't wire to ign "ON", it will probably stay running.

GTS61: you are supposed to have a gen light on your cluster. What's up wit dat? No lamp? no ammeter? just a voltmeter? An aftermarket voltmeter? mounted under dash? Must be working if you see 14V.

You can run a voltmeter and an indicator light. This would be a good idea.
