How do I check if there magically grounded? Like insulators at connection points.....is that what you meanNope. Also does not matter which field is connected to which wire on the 70/ newer ones. CAVEAT!!!! Please check before you install it that both field terminals are open to ground. There are LOTS of alternators with "magically grounded" brushes
It's just temporary, until I get the right alternator, it's all I got,came off my 1985 d150,even though the casting number comes up 1972 challenger...lolWait up, your using a stock regulator on a squareback? Why....upgrade to the dual field electronic regulator and dual ballast resistor. "..Dual field alternators can also be used for single field applications if necessary by grounding one of the field wires. <<67Dart273 may have found a few that were already grounded to convert to single field..;-) >> This will, in effect, turn the alternator into a single field unit..In 1970, Chrysler changed to an electronically regulated charging system. This system can be easily identified by the flat, square voltage regulator with a triangular plug on it. This is a much better, more reliable system that will keep the battery voltage more stable and is highly recommended for electronic ignition setups and aftermarket stereos/electronics, etc. This system uses two field wires and is often called a "double field" system.."
Before you connect your grounding jumper, use a meter to check from the field terminals to the case. Should be open. Unwanted grounded field brushes is caused by sloppy rebuilders, broken or missing brush holder insulators/ hardware. This is quite commonHow do I check if there magically grounded?

Got ya,thanksBefore you connect your grounding jumper, use a meter to check from the field terminals to the case. Should be open. Unwanted grounded field brushes is caused by sloppy rebuilders, broken or missing brush holder insulators/ hardware. This is quite common
I'd give it to them for price of shipping when I'm done with itSell core to a $$ E-body numbers matching guy.
