This alternator is from a '78 Ford F-150
Looking inside its really confusing. I cannot distinguish these wires. Am I using the correct style alternator?
Thanks.
HI,
You have an alternator and it is good enough.
As you see, you have 3 wires going up from the stator.
That is what you need.
Now, you can do many things.
I have removed all other components from the alternator.
The components that I removed are the diodebridges and the voltage regulator.
I took some 3 wires and connected them to the 3 wires off the stator and the 3 wires are going ouside the alternator.
Then its best to re-use the diodebridges. I have mounted them outside the alternator.
The other 2 wires or contacts from the sliprings are for the rotor.
So, you must be able to put from the outside voltage on the rotor.
hopes this helps you out.
If not, just ask.
