Alternator Wiring

Hey Guys,

I'm going through and cleaning up some messy wiring going to my alternator.

According to the wiring diagram I have, the Stator and Field wires go from the voltage regulator straight to the alternator.

Is this correct?

Oh, and another thing. If the white/black wire does go from regulator to ALT Stator connection, then where does this white/black wire go?

It depends on the factory charge indicator you have in the dash.

If you have an ALT light, the STA stud of the alternator connects directly to the S input of the regulator, as well as the electric choke. If you have an ammeter (amp gauge), the STA stud of the alternator goes only to the electric choke and does NOT go to the regulator. In this case, hot-in-RUN power from the truck connects to the S input of the regulator through a GREEN with RED stripe wire. In both cases, the F output of the regulator connects directly to the FLD stud of the alternator.

I believe that answers your second question too.
