charging issues

In looking at your pictures. Makes me curious. My Alternator wires are backwards from yours. My Green wire is at 12:00 position and blue at 2:00. 67dart273 does say these could have been switched. I am searching for a diagram now, but all my books are black and white photos.

here you go

Thanks! That is the diagram I have just found, and mine are backwards to this. I have since switched.

Functionally, l the two field wires make no difference

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I've had my 66 Valiant for 4 days and discovered why the previous owner sold it after owning it a year and only driving it for the past two months. I'm used to chasing bad grounds on my 66 Chevy truck, it's rusted to hell and that's the type of thing you expect. The Valiant is so clean, I was perplexed as I didn't expect that many problems.
