"1967 120hp 153CI I4. Started the engine yesterday. I ran off the battery for a short while. She purrs like a kitten.
I have read many of the past posts on alternator hook up and the volt meter but admit I have writers block when it comes to wiring.
The alternator has the ground at the casing, the BAT post is wired to the hot post on the starter solenoid. There is a wire plug with a red and black wire, 14 gauge, coming off the back of the alternator.
I have connected the red wire, assuming this is the Field to the Blue wire that goes to the middle post of the Transistor Voltage regulator. I have connected the black wire to common ground.
Does this sound correct?
The Quicksilver volt gauge has three posts, grnd, ignition and sender. The ground is good, the ignition post comes off the switch. Which wire is the sender?
Once I get this straightened out please tell me how to check. I read the post on this a couple of months ago but cant seem to find it now when I need it.
I want to thank everyone that has helped so far. Once we got her tweaked in and up on her legs we had half the neighborhood out for a peak. My son and I were smiling like a possum nawin on a sweet tater.
Also, I didn't mention, everything is new.
