amp light

ok searched and got half of the anwser, now for the other half worknig with a 1970 f134 spedo. one wire for the amp light goes to ign switch hot only when key is on, the other wire goes to the generator. where at on the generator? field, or armature?

 

On a generator system you will connect that wire to the voltage regulator. It is normally indicated by the letter "I" or IGN. Your 70 model should have an alternator system? Does it and if so is it Prestolite Autolite Delco Motorola or other?

 

it has the generator, tag is missing, looks like a delco, i could be wrong, all the generators look alike

 

I would temporarily connect the indicator wire to the term on the reg that has the wire going to the ARM on the gen. and try it. If your reg is a three term unit and the gen has a raised band around the middle then it is a prestolite. Delco gens are straight barrel. Any way you wont burn anything up by trying this connection.

 

thanks, i hooked it up the way it was when i got it, but the light didnt work, after a deeper investigation i found that one of the wires wasnt hooked up at the light, hooked it to positive and all was well, thankls again
