Title: Alternator wiring help please
Post by: Kyle700 on August 03, 2012, 05:53:15 PM
Its been too long between my short/meltdown and repair. I need some help.  76 chevy 350 with a Delco-Remy alternator. The black two-wire clip/plug that goes into the alternator has two wires, I know one goes to to the battery, I don't know where there other one goes. Where the wire leaves the alternator the is a "2" on the casting of the alternator. It ran towards the transon to the distibution block. The it half a fuse holder that goes to the dist block...it may be the other half of the fuse holder/wire? (I have no idea the the wire and half holder went)

Thanks for any advice you may have. 
 I tried to post a pic but it was "too large."  if a p[ic is needed, I can take another and try it.

I have seen one diagram that shows the #1 goes to the battery, the #2 going to the amp indicator lamp(?)

That way mine is set up and worked is the #1 goes to the battery and the #2 went somehere (?)

btw the short was caused by the battery wire form the alt touching the exhaust manifild, melting the insulation and shorting. Thye battery wire was replace and rerouted.
