Little @ time

Admin help,

I am having to reply to this thread to be able to view the most resent input. Is there some way to correct this?

I haven't heard of that happening before. If you're logged on you should be able to see the most recent post. When you go to the website, look near the top of the page under the masthead to the right and it should say "Welcome, Guy Monjure" which means you're logged on. If not, log on and there should be a box that says "remember me" or something like that. This should keep you logged on each time you return to the forum.

Thanks, remember me fixed it.

Guy,

I'm not sure the alternators are exactly the same or not (GM/Ford) when it comes to regulators. They are all the same in what they do and need, but they may tweak things between the two systems and may not work if you use the regulator from a Ford on a GM alt.

Of course, GM also has a one-wire alternator that is a very cheap and common swap.

I'm sorry this has turned out to be such a hassle, but it really should have been pretty simple considering it is only 4 wires to connect and +12 power.

Can you take a picture of this alternator - or have you already?

Hey Roger, good to hear from you.

I am certain I have the wiring correct, but am not sure what altenator I got, (Ford/GM). I am working to find out! Last time I started her up the starter stuck running. I have just replaced the ignition switch and key cylinder. The switch shorted. The locksmith came over last night and made two sets of keys so the door and ignition would be the same. He also made me two new keys for the trunk.
I currently do not have any way to take pictures. Wife left and took the camera!
