7.1
Mopar Alternator. See Figure 9-1
Note: Your Alternator may not appear exactly as represented in Figure 7-1. The circuits are wired the
same way, though.
7.1.1 Mopar uses one of two kinds of voltage regulators: An electronic regulator and a mechanical one.
The electronic voltage regulator is represented in Figure 7-1A. It does not matter how the two
terminals are connected, so long as they are BOTH connected. The mechanical regulator has
terminals marked "F" (Field) and "l" (Ignition). In contrast to the electronic regulator, it DOES
make a difference how the mechanical regulator is connected.
7.1.2 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #914 (BLU) to the Alternator Field (F) terminal as shown in Figure
7-1A. Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #915 (BLK) to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).
CAUTION:
IF USING AN ALTERNATOR WITH AN OUTPUT LARGER THAN 65 AMPS,
YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO USE JUMPER WIRE #960 (RED), INCLUDED IN BOX. THE
WIRE END WITH THE RING TERMINAL AND RUBBER BOOT WILL CONNECT TO THE
ALTERNATOR OUTPUT LUG. ROUTE THE OTHER END TO THE STARTER. CUT THE WIRE
AND CRIMP ON A RING TERMINAL. INSTALL ON SAME TERMINAL OF MAXI FUSE AS
#916 RED. SEE FIGURE 7-1B.
7.1.3 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the Alternator terminal where wire #914 is connected to either of
the ELECTRONIC Voltage Regulator terminals OR terminal (l) of the MECHANICAL Voltage
Regulator. On existing Mopar harnesses, this would be a blue wire.
7.1.4 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the other Alternator Field terminal (as shown in Figure 7-1) to the
second terminal of the ELECTRONIC Voltage Regulator OR terminal (F) of the MECHANICAL
Voltage Regulator. On existing Mopar harnesses, this would be a green wire.
7.1.5 Finally, be sure BOTH the alternator and the voltage regulator itself are grounded.

7.2
Mopar Ignition (Start/Run) System. See Figure 7-2A
Note: If you are going to install an ammeter, see Section 8.3 first.
7.2.1 Connect ENGINE SECTION (single) 10-gauge red wire #916 (with or without ammeter) to the
MAXI fuse. Use remaining 10 ga. to connect to Starter Relay Battery Terminal. Retain excess wire.
