Alternator wiring.
Hey guys,
I bought an engine that I'm swapping into my AE86 and I need some help wiring up the alternator. I have 2 different ones. One has a 2 pin connector and the other has 3 pins. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
3 pin
2 pin
Thanks,
g

Re: Alternator wiring.
The 3 pin look like an external regulator alt
The 2 pin intern regulator
1* which one do you want to use on youre 86 ? the pin 2 ?

What if I were to use the 3 pin alternator?
Re: Alternator wiring.
Thats going backwards ! You will need to ad extra few wires so it can connect to the external regulatorgotae86 wrote:What if I were to use the 3 pin alternator?
If you know what's stamped on the alt i will guide you to make it work.

Re: Alternator wiring.
Ah, I assumed that 3 pins would have been more up to date than a 2 pin. I'll pull it out tonight and take a picture.

Thanks for that diagram. It's makes a little more sense now.
I found the stamping on the alternator, L and IC.
