    ndh87 Does it run?

    I've got a 5 wire alternator on a carb'ed 258.

    there are two pairs of smaller thinner wires 14ga. maybe these pairs plug into the top, and i have one thicker wire, about 10ga. (red) coming off the bottom.

    How do i wire this thing? I have the jeep running on battery only right now.

    Strider380 Can I have a zip tie?

    I was never able to figure out my motorola regulator. I'd carry 3 batteries with me and go wheeling for the day. Finally, I spent 40 dollars on a standard delco remy alternator from a firebird. Best thing i ever did. Its guarenteed for life too, for when you go through rivers.

    I was mad because the regulator cost 20 bucks. Half the price of my 75 firebird v6 alternator which I buy for all my jeeps at my FLAPS.
