Dynamo to Alternator Convertion

[Andy Dawson]

Converting my mates motor from Dynamo to Alternator and having a bit of trouble working out what nees to be done.

I have a feed that goes straight to the battery from the Alternator, but not sure which terminal the +12volt sense should go to.

I have a choice of 3 terminals
N at 8.6 M ohmes
F at 7.4 ohmes
E is shorted to ground.

Any top tips received with thanks.

[wrench]

what vehicle is it for? and do the terminals n, f, & e come from the regulater?

The vechicle is an Elva kit car based on an MG from the 50's

The altinator is from a modern car (not sure what) terminals are on the back of the alternator its self, where a modern 3 pin jack would fit.

[wrench]

what shape would the 3pin jack be ? are there any other connections on the alternator push on or bolt on?

It's sorted now wrench - our pet electrical genius fixed it!

Pity he spends most of his time in Cambridge
