i have found this

B+ or Batt ,Main output
B- or E to negative (earth)
D+ to alternator warning lamp this is L on Lucas alternators
F goes to the regulator
W to Tachometer (or sometimes a small jack plug)
B+ and B- may also be connected to the case via a supressor

but i cant find an L on the alternator although it is RTX copy not lucas

small spade= blue wire warning light . two big spades = battery + . go to top bolt on starter if i remember correctly- three pin plug your new alternator has is shit thats why ford superseeded it to bolt terminals like the alternator on the right . w = rev counter take off
