Alt Wires

I just installed a ZZ4 in my 72 Vert. I have a new style ALT with a 4 wire plug. Can anyone help with the "how to" on the hook up? What wires should be connected to my stock wiring harness? Thanks in advance.

Durangoboy has a pretty good document on it. Just don't put the jumper from the Bat term to the F or L terminal.

Yea, just leave the jumper off, it bypasses the voltage sense function of that red wire in the harness, not a good idea.

Yeah I keep meaning to fix that. I just kept forgetting. With it jumped it just charges all the time and never gets a break.

Delco makes a jumper to put a CS alternator where a SI alternator was. You just plug it in. Different pigtail depending on if you have a lamp or a gauge.
