Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Voltage Regulator Wiring - Ford 460
« on: March 28, 2015, 07:15:22 PM »
Hey guys,
Just bought this 18' Hallett and Im trying to work out all the bugs. Turns out my alternator that is brand new (just bought it today after I had the old one tested) is not charging my battery. I have a feeling the wiring from the alternator to the voltage regulator isn't correct and I am finding some conflicting information online. I did look at the wiring diagrams here, but they do not include a voltage regulator.
Alternator: Duralast 7078, has no internal regulator, has a battery, Stator, Field, and ground terminals.
Voltage Regulator: VR-428 has I,A,S, and F terminals.
Alt Stator wire connected to VR S terminal
Alt Field wire connected to VR F terminal
Alt Batt wire connected to nothing (i know)
Alt ground connected to battery ground
Does the Alt batt wire connect to the VR "A" terminal and the VR "I" go to ignition?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
