Hello everyone... and thanks in advance.
I'm cross posting this, so if it reads kinda "weird" that is why. I'm trying to do a wiring harness from scratch on a race car. Its a 1967S 2.0/6 motor.... first question: Would this be an internal or external voltage regulator on the alternator? (I'm guessing its an external, so I probably need to wire a regulator in somewhere) second question: I'm replacing the tiny alternator warning light with a LARGE warning light.... I've seen this on other cars but they usually had a full wiring loom intact. a)Do I need to pay attention to the wattage of the warning light bulb to get the circuit to excite? b)should I wire a resistor in line to meet this need of a particular wattage and then wire my warning light seperate? c) if b is true, then how would I wire the light seperate? d) help...? that should about cover all my questions for the next 24 hours or so... Most of the circuits (ie: fuel pump, switched ignition power, etc.) have made simple sense... but I'm struggling a bit with the alternator so thanks a ton fellas!!!! brant |

oops...
what james said (we must have been posting at the same time) external.. should be easy enough. Thanks James. now.. hmmm.. regarding the warning light. kinda feels like 2 options: 1) replicate the factory wiring for a warning light and make sure my new bulb is close enough to the same wattage 2) put a resistor in place of the factory bulb (this way I know its correct and the charging system will work). Then come up with a whole new manner of triggering my warning light... is option 2 possible? brant |
