alternator wiring question
I have an 1984 F-250 w/460 wanting to know about where the wires go to my alternator. the way it was hooked up It has 3 wires, power wire black I think an blue orange wire and an white and black wire. well the white and black wire is not hooked up but the truck apears to be charging ok the wire is hooked up to the alternator but the other end is not hooked up to anything. What is it supposed to be hooked up to.
