Exclamation

Rob, about the alternator question from the other night. I looked up a GM three wire alternator and it goes like:
A terminal: excitor wire from ignition switch. On two seperate wiring diagrams the wire is classified as 'resistor wire'. The only reference that I could find for it was a voltage less than 9V and greater than 2V.
B terminal: thin (red) wire feeds back to the starter and attaches to the same terminal as the large + wire (see below)
+ terminal:feeds back to the starter and attaches to the large power terminal.

Well hope that helps somewhat... Maybe Crappy Tire would have a single wire alternator? It would just be sooooo much easier

Cheers,
Dave

ps: thanks again for the seat stops. One more thing off my list!!
