hi guys, thanks for all the responses to the thread I posted last week. really shed a lot of light on stuff.
well I am going to be wiring up the system tomorrow so I spent today removing the old wires and I have some questions.
here is what I have bought
gm 12si 94 amp alternator
2 5/16 junction studs(1 in case I find a use for another one)
22 feet of 8 gauge wire
all the terminals I need
ford starter solenoid
so, per the MAD electrical instructions, I plan to mount the stud on the firewall,
run the alternator battery out to the stud
run a a wire from the stud to the battery,
and reconnect the red power wire in the firewall bulkhead from the old bus to the junction stud.
how is it looking so far?
here are my questions
1. there is a brown wire going from the old external regulator to the firewall bulkhead connector.(this is different from the red wire that went from the horn relay bus to the firewall bulkhead)
a. what is this connector and
b. where do I connect it to in the new system
2, how do I connect remote voltage sensing in the new system, since Im bypassing the external regulator completely, just run a wire from the alternator to the new junction stud?
3. the sense connector on the alternator, where does that plug to?
4. how do I send power to the horn relay ( I want to keep it in the system to power headlight relays). do I just run a wire from the new junction stud to the horn relay buss bar?
thanks for help and assistance and suggestions.
