Help with Alternator
Saturday i bought a 1985 F150 2x4 inline 6 5spd.
The battery died on me yesterday and i traced the problem to the alternator. Im in the middle of getting the wiring all buttoned up but ive hit a wall. It seems wires were never hooked up. I need help!
The wires I'm talking about are the "sta" or stator. Coming off the alternator it turns into 2 wires and I found 2 diagrams one showing it going to the choke and another showing it going to ignition switch. Any input would help greatly!
If there is anybody local that could come help me out please call me.

Have you asked in your local Chapter? I don't know where Rancho Cucamonga is but find your state's FTE Chapter here:

BTW I am only familiar with stator <-> choke connections, can't say I've heard of stator <-> ignition switch circuits before.

Im still waiting for a response. Ive done multiple searches and im having trouble finding something.
In your experience where does the stator connect to the ignition?

I think you're confused, or I said it wrong... I have never heard of stator-to-ignition-switch wiring, just to a white/black wire attaching to an electric choke heater.

It would be cool if you'd post the answer so that others sho come upon your thread in a search would have some help.

All that's left is to see if my battery is charging/holding a charge.
