howdee all,
i need some help ive just put my cossie engine into a new saff body, and thats fine but ive just finished fitting a 1.6 engine and loom to the old saff body, and came to the altanator and realised the piece of the loom is missing.
now i know there three wires coming from the altanator a red obviosly going to the battery, but i also have a blue and a blue & white and i dont know where there supposed to go.

can anyone fill me in please?? i would really appretiate any help.

steve.

 

You only need two wires, the main battery feed, and the warning light wire for battery on dash, this is blue.
If the 1.6 engine had a electric choke ?, the extra wire would be for this, it is normally a 8Volt output fed from a single winding of the alternator.

cheers Tabetha,
i have been knocking my head up against a wall about this wiring, there is an electric choke and that clears that up.
dont suppose you'd know where that blue for the battery light joins up to the loom or could i tap in behind the dash clocks??

thanks in advance.
steve

 

The blue wire for the dash light normally goes into the loom around the area just above the crossmember that side on the ledge where the main loom runs on top of the chassis section bit.
But yes it can be joined directly in if you wish.
