Rod,
The alternator is off an Elgin street sweeper so yes, it could have been a Ford engine. The solid state regulator is attached directly to the alternator and contains the brushes that contact the slip rings as well. Its wired to the REG and GND terminals. No other wires appear to have ever been attached to either stud. They're caked with dirt/grease and were this way when I took it off the sweeper. There was a heavy wire connected to the OUTPUT terminal and a lighter one to the STA. I was told that was probably used for an electronic tachometer. I'd like to use this alternator because of its hi capacity output (need it for charging off grid batteries).

Thanks
