Alternator Question

Steve, There is 2 wires to ARM, 1 wire to FLD, 2 wires to BAT on the old reg. Sorry about all the ? but have trying to get this solved for a while.Thanks for all the help!!!

 

Steve has said it clearer than I could, but I'd add that the charge wire doesn't necessarily have to go to the + bat terminal. It can go to the starter solenoid, whether it is a separate fender mounted one or mounted on the starter like on my 3.8L. As long as it mounts where the Pos cable terminates you are accomplishing the same thing and it might look neater, if that matters. I actually read an article that said the engineers ran it that way from the factory for a reason, but I think it is one of those things that you can get away with if you want.

 

Steve: Great dexcription. But on my old Motorola I plan on using the same wireing on the new GM. It's already there and is the same except I have an additonal ground wire. But that doesn't answer my question as what to do with the old fender well mounted regulator. Can I just un-plug it and forget it? Or do I have to jump or bridge a wire or two?
