Generator Terminals and Wire Gauges
Posted by Joe On 2024/2/15 9:47:49
Hey, all. Just looking for confirmation on a couple of things. Looking to rewire my generator/regulator connections. Autolitle setup on a 23rd series here.
On the gen, confirming that the bottom, i.e. larger terminal is the armature, and top, i.e. smaller terminal is the field.
For the wires, wanted to confirm proper gauges:
Armature - 10 gauge
Field - 12 gauge
Gen ground to headlight junction block, and block to regulator - 12 gauge
Ammeter to stater terminal - 10 gauge?
I'm also going to be replacing the junction block itself. Pretty crusty. Please set me straight if I'm off on any of this. Thank you!
