Hi guys,
I been searching in the archives, because I know this has came up before.. but can't seem to find it.
I'm wondering is there a "right" way to wire a one wire delco alternator up?
It's going onto a 560 diesel that will be used nearly daily, and this is what the owner wants, so I'm not asking many questions, just trying to help him get it all doctored up..
The only one I ever did, I just ran a wire to the battery post on the starter solenoid, and has worked fine for 3 years of little use, and don't seem to draw the battery down (sits for 11 months out of the year, starts right up when the time comes)
I also know I have to remove the old VR and some of the old wiring, but is there anything else I have to do? He has the alternator already "mocked" up, and has it ready to go, just needs wiring done to finish it up.. I just want to be sure we do it right and remove the right things, and so that the ammeter works like it should (and don't draw the battery and stuff down)
Thanks in advance,
Brad
