Been working on an M that has been parked for about 30 years in a shed. Engine isn't frozen, and I've replaced the belts, changed the oil, spark plugs, spark plug wires. A lot of the electrical was in disarray, and I am not sure how to re-wire everything up again. The coil was missing, so I replaced it with a 12V w/ internal resistance, so I wouldn't have to use a ballast resistor, as shown in the link. Is this correct? I used a Tisco 396547R93.
For the most part, I have deciphered the wiring up until it wires into the alternator and the coil. This is where my confusion begin. Alternator has a "BAT" terminal, then one port with "R" & "F" on either side. Only one wire coming out of it. Also, it looks like there was a voltage regulator on it, which I have removed (temporarily), but I have shown its orientation in the pics.
To help clarify the pics, the green wire goes to the on/off switch that you have to pull out before the starter will work. Blue & yellow wires go up into the ammeter and light switch housing. Yellow wire is cut up near the alternator when all three wires come out of the sheathing. A red wire seems to be spliced into the green wire before the voltage regulator(?), and the green wire was hanging loose. Based on the drawing in the link, I think it goes to the "+" terminal on the coil. The alternator has a "BAT" terminal, but no "1" or "2". The dual plug is an "R" & "F".
I can't quite make sense of what I need to do now, and/or where to find the wires I need to connect to the "-" coil and the wires that are missing for the alternator. Any help is appreciated.
