Finally cut all the old wiring out and replace. It was in bad shape. Rewired it per here: http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/articles/artint195.htm
I did away with the amp meter and light switch as both were broken. Will add a volt meter later
As of now I do not have a wire attached to the 1 terminal on alternator as I did not have an indicator light on hand. Started it up an low and behold the alternator seems to be exciting on its own and charging. Slowly got to 13.5 volts and hung there. Can they self excite?
Can I use a LED type indicator light to excite?
Do I even need to as it seems to be charging now?[/b]
