Alternator

[Guest keyper]

Hi all,

 

Have got myself in to a little problem. I have got an alternator with bolts on the back for connectors instead of the standard Sierra alternator which has male type connectors. Anyone got any idea's where the 3 cables connect to ?

 

Cheers All.

Your two reds combine (or you may just have one fatter red)and go to the big bolt. The skinny blue goes to a connector labeled D, 61 or L. You might just possibly have a blue/white wire and this is 6v feed to the electric choke. Not sure where you connect this if you've got it. Perhaps fit a manual choke?

Just a thought. Is the alternator an early 10 or 11AC. If so it needs an external voltage regulator and relay. Much easier in that case to get an ACR or newer alternator that is more powerfull and uses the standard three pin plug.

I had the same problem as you, i went for the latter option as Nigel said, the later alternator with the three pin plug, the wiring is easy to sort our and the alternator is a bit smaller which is a big help especially when you're running out of space.

 

Good Luck

If your going to buy an alternator from a scrappy or recon I would recommend the Bedford Rascal one. You have to mod a bracket but its quite small.
