[Spits] Nipondenso Alternator Installation

[Bill Gingerich]

Dan,

I can't help you with the 3 connections, but have another thought.  Be sure
to run a new, heavier gauge charging wire to the solenoid.  The stock wire
isn't very large, and may not handle the added output of a bigger alternator
if the demand is high (dead battery?) I don't remember what gauge I used
when I put in the 65 amp Delco, but wire capacity info is easy to find.

Listers;

Has any ever installed one of those high-output Nipondenso alternator in a
GT6?  The unit has the large stud on one side, with a circular area with
three spade fittings in a "pi" configuration marked  "D" (across the top),
"IG" on the left leg, and "L" on the right leg.

I understand that the large stud receives the large main brown wire, but
what of the others?
