Can I use this ateernator?

[cudadriver]

I bought this rebuilt alt. way back in the day 'cause it looked like the one in my Barracuda and it was only $20.00. I wanted to put it in my '68 Barracuda today so I could drive it while the original is rebuilt. Before I started I noticed it has two connectors marked 'FLD' for field whereas mine only has one 'FLD'. Will I be able to use this alt. and if so how do I hook it up? The original in the car has part # 2095192 and the rebuilt one has # 3438201.

To use the alt shown, just ground one of the FLD terminals. Take a connector and a short piece of wire, then conect one end to the FLD term and screw the other end of the wire somewhere on the case (you could use a ring terminal on the other end).

I have a powermaster alt for my 69 Fastback and that is what they said to do with their 2 FLD alts when you want to run a 1 wire ext regulator.

I have since converted to a 2 FLD system, so I just removed the ground jumper and hooked up the correct wiring for the regulator.

Does it matter which one? The lower one in the pic is the one the original doesn't have.
