2- Field Wire Alternator: Blue/Green wire hookup
Simple question for you alternator gurus out there...I've searched through many old posts on the topic but don't seem to find the answer to my question. Working on my 71 Demon 340 and installing a new Evans main engine wiring harness. The car has electronic ignition with the blue VR as shown in the pic.
Here's the question: on the 2 field terminal alternator, does it matter which terminal gets attached to the blue or green wire that comes from the VR? (Blue wire goes to middle/upper post on VR and green wire to the right/lower post.)
The FSM shows these wires attaching to the Field terminals but does not decipher between the terminal closest to the output post or the one farther away. I don't think it matters which wire goes where but would rather have an expert confirm that!
Below is a pic of the alternator and the VR. (And yes, the VR is grounded to the sheetmetal as I get continuity from the case to the alternator body.)
Thx for the help!! I'd rather not fry something due to my stupidity so thought it best to ask.
