arrgh! I didn't get the plug!
The rear of the alternator has a plastic housing with 3 spade type plugs
stacked on top of each other.
I can change the fittings on the end of my existing wires to fit the spades.
So does someone know which spade is for which wire?

I didn't get the adjuster bracket either. Is this different from the
generator type?

Thanks again,
Dave
'67 Midget
