Alternator upgrade on a race car
Hi,
I have been using an early alternator with an external regulator. Now I have a late model housing and a rebuilt alternator.
What I know is that:
I need to hook up a constant battery power to B+
I need to hook up a ground wire or strap to D-
The question I have is that D+ usually needs to go to the alternator bulb on the dash. I have no intensions of using a bulb.
Is the D+ wire the one that needs to be hooked up to switched power and the one I need to run through the electrical shut off switch?
Thanks
Ed
