Okay, I puzzled! I bought a 460 some time back and it has been converted to 12v alt. 2 wires coming off it. Idecided to clean up the wiring nightmare a bit.
1 wire goes from the stud on the alternator back to the battery side of starter solenoid.
The other wire goes from the alternator to a switch on the dash then to the hot post on the battery. I was told this was either to keep the battery from being drained by the alt. I was also told that switch was there to send power to excite the alternator???
Can anyone clarify this for me?
