Hi guys, I'm sure Jollygreengiant will help me with this one

I've got a lucas alternator on 1600 Xflow, how do I go about connecting it up? its got: ind, + , +, on three terminals int being the smallest one.

thanks
darren

either 1 or both + are output and go to battery + via starter motor (big cable) terminal,the ind goes through the ignition light bulb and back to ignition switch,ie ign bulb is not earthed but the power runs through it.hth

Ah, simple as that hey

thanks conrodkid!


ps
sorry jollygreengiant, theconrodkid beat u

NO PROBLEMO.

btw

if its like my alternator, the ign bulb is vital. no bulb, no charging. Weird but true.

the jolly green giant can give me a beating anytime,the bulb needs to be as low a wattage as poss or the light will stay on at tickover speeds.
