I was hoping you would elaborate. My mistake for not asking for more detail.

Ae you trying to add an alternator or replace one?

I think this may be better answered by someone over at Small Tools or Lawn Equipment, not here, where we typically answer questions about building wiring.

Thanks tk. I do have the habit of finding the obscure. Even if it's to prove a point.

tk: There's a few links in Electrical Engineering that could use some input.

To everyone:
The link in post 7: I don't like the fact that there is no place on the schematic for a fusible link/fuse between the output of the alternator and the battery. Something like 30-40 Amps, I suppose. Other than that, looks like a car problem.
