Steps:
Disconnect the battery: Before starting any electrical work, disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid any accidental electrical shocks.
Locate the alternator: The alternator is typically mounted on the front of the engine, near the top.
Identify the alternator wires: The alternator will have three main wires: the field terminal, the armature terminal, and the output terminal. The field terminal is usually marked with the letter “F”, the armature terminal with the letter “A”, and the output terminal with the letter “B”.
Connect the field terminal: Connect the field terminal of the alternator to the positive terminal of the battery using an 18-gauge wire.
Connect the armature terminal: Connect the armature terminal of the alternator to the negative terminal of the battery using an 18-gauge wire.
Connect the output terminal: Connect the output terminal of the alternator to the starter solenoid using a 10-gauge wire.
Reconnect the battery: Reconnect the negative battery terminal to the battery.
Test the alternator: Start the engine and check the voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 13.8 and 14.4 volts.
If the voltage is too high or too low, adjust the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is usually located on the firewall near the alternator.
That’s it! You have successfully wired the alternator on a 1967 Ford.
