I have a 1966 Dart with a 225 slant six, the car did not have an alternator when I got the car so I bought one from NAPA. There are two wires near the alternator area. One is a round hole post connector, the other is a spade connector.
The alternator has three connections, 1 is a post connector and there are two spade connectors. The post is obvious but I'm not sure which spaded connector to use. The one not connected appears to be marked FLD. My battery does not appear to be charging, but headlights, wipers, turns signals all work fine. The dash ammeter gauge will move when the lights, wipers and signals go on.
The question now is am I missing a wire for the alternator, did I choose the wrong spade connector, or do I have the wrong alternator? Maybe it's connected properly and I have another issue.
Thank you
