6v ECJ generator -- which is F and A?

    evanjm Yeah, it's got an F-head.

    I'm in the middle of rewiring my '57 CJ5. I can't remember which terminal on the genny is F and which one is A. I have the ground hooked up.

    Here's a picture of my generator...

    The right side of the picture is the front of the jeep.

    Thanks,

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    if you take a wire brush and clean around the studs, they should be marked, A or F.
    short of that
    the fuzzy pic I'm looking at in the FSM indicates/most likely/should be the top stud would be the field terminal.
    the lower would be the armature terminal.

    Pop the brush cover. The A stud is connected to the brush arm while the F terminal connects to the field windings around the case.
