My charging system is not working so ive taken out the harness and am looking at all the fusible links and wires. Im replacing all the connectors and re-doing the connections with fresh wire.

My understanding is:

Regulator F - Alternator Field(Orange)
Regulator S - Ammeter and Ignition Switch(Green/Red)
Regulator A - 1) Ground(Black) 2) Fusible Link from BAT+ then back to solenoid and battery+ terminal (Yellow)


The auto parts store seems to think that the alternator should be grounded to the battery, but I cant find any evidence of that in my repair manuals.

Also I am adding an in-line fuse at the yellow wire and BAT + junction going back to the solenoid.
What fuse would be best for this system?

I know theyre people out there that have much more experience than I wiring these things up..soo id like to double check with the community.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also it looks like there is a a ground coming out of the BAT+ junction that was melted off. Should there be a ground here?
