could one of you fine gentleman tell me the wire colors from left to right of the big alternator plug standing in front of truck looking at plug when plugged in?

 

I had the alternator rebuilt the other day and I thought it would be a good time to repair the wires, well I didn’t mark the wire locations and I don’t want to take a chance of being wrong.

Hope that pic works. Middle white is the stator plug from memory. Yellow constant hot. Other is switched. At least that was wiring when I converted my '88 to a 3G.

Eye the 6awg main power lug too. Mine was barely hanging on when I went to rebuild my turbocharger.

 

I’m not sure that is the same, yes the middle wire is white, but the green and the yellow wires do not have any ends on them, they go into a harness.

 

Here is mine

 

Just use a cheap DVOM or even test light. Find the switched 12V wire in OE harness...that goes to the green on new pigtail into voltage reg.

 

That’s great fellas, thanks!

 

"made in china" sweet stuff

 

Yeah. The old one crapped out last year, replaced with the same brand because it did well, and now it is China.

 

the last one i put in back in 2011 was from oriely auto parts and it was made in taiwan, im really suprized its still going strong. thats 7 years on this one... and still going, maybe tiawan is improving their standards.
