Ron Francis / Denso alternator hookup
Hey peeps,
I'm having a hell of time with the Ron Francis XP-777 wiring harness I'm attempting to install into my '65 Barracuda. I have a long list of complaints about this harness but right this moment I'm just trying to install the alternator. For years I've happily used the 3-wire Denso alternator used in late 80s Toyotas without any trouble at all.
The RF instructions reference only a 1-wire style. And the wire color doesn't match the Chrysler wiring diagrams for '65. The whole thing is an afterthought.
What I have so far is the heavy 8awg wire that runs from the BAT post on the alternator through a 70amp maxi-fuse and then on to the post on the starter relay, which then runs to the starter and battery. Great.
But where do the other two wires go? I think one of them would go the fuse panel and the other would go .. to the battery? The instructions really only mention GM wiring. They also caution not to compare the RF diagrams to the factory diagrams.
Before anyone asks I have asked them for help in the past and all they do is copy/paste the instructions again without any further explanation or help.
For reference, this is what the alternator looks like:
