- 1971 yellow Mach 1 ram air 351c traction loc 4 speed. Ordered new from the factory in April 1971. 74,000 miles, in excellent condition. Going through complete engine rebuild only to increase horsepower, not because it needed it. Should bring 430 to 450 hp upon completion.
When I removed the alternator, I made a quick diagram showing where the wires attached. Red connector to the post with the red plastic base, orange connector to the post with the black plastic base. Where does the one attached to the black T shaped plastic piece go? I think that is just a ground going to one of the case screws, but didn't note that. I had the alternator rebuilt and they put on and tightened all new nuts....so there was no loose nut showing me where it came from. When I attached it, I saw that there was another post on the back, think it was stat. Thought that's where it went, but I'm getting no charge. Can someone help please. Thanks in advance.
