Altanator Wiring

[Guest john.camfield]

Hi

 

I am rewiring the car, but need help with the terminals, i have a 3 terminal plug (2 large and 1 smaller) with 3 wires, i know the larger 2 terminals is for charge, but what about the smaller terminal has a brown/yellow lead coming from it? allso there is a seperate round push on wire blue/yellow where does this one go?

 

Also any ideas where i can get a new plug for the altanator?

 

I have just started to rewire the whole car (premier loom)so will be asking a load of questions)

 

many thanks.

As you said 2 large terms are charge. the small one connects to charge warning lamp and the round terminal should be a 6volt feed for electric choke if you have it.

try this link to an ebay page. This is the one i bought when my one fell apart. I think there were different types of connectors on pinto alternators, so check if it looks ok.
