Alternator thoughts?

[Big John]

Hey Jim... From reading that schematic it looks like 2 field terminals are required for the solid state units. I guess my confusion is in how to use a one field terminal alternator with the 1970-up electronic regulator. I have no problem making a wiring harness from a schematic, but this is really confusing me.
So to state my current understanding, I get a 1968 YO harness, a 1970-up 2-wire square-backed alternator, one of the Mopar fully electronic regulators, and slightly modify the 1968 harness? I am feeling particularly dense here. Where is the "drool moronically" emoticon? Sorry to be so dense on this.
Thanks again,
Don

You can't use a single field connection alternator with a 70/later regulator.

You can use a dual field connection alternator with a 69/earlier regulator by grounding one field connection.

:yeathat: Okay, that is what I was thinking. The TBIs sometimes make the obvious look confusing. I will get the VR706 and use it until I get the new alternator and wiring next month.
