i put a 1 wire alt on the 84 so i can't use it as reference. i'm rewiring the alternator on the '80 now i can't remeber where the 2 wires that come out of the plastic alternator connector go. can someone remind me

thanks

okay the red wire coming out of the connector goes to the started and pics up constant full battery. the smaller darker wire i think is a switched positive and where does it hook up at? its burnt through and i think thats causing the charging problem

so if someone knows where the smaller darker wire coming out of the alt plug is supposed to go that would be sweet!

thanks

Glad to see you fix it Ryan.

Now if you need parts let me know now that you have the 73-80 style.
