That's weird.....they did it to confuse ya...?!This I've done several builds
The regulator is not GM. It's similar to 99-06 chrysler alternators that were externally regulated. Here is the pinout. 1 is green and 2 is black
Yeah, but I'm still confused about wiring them to the blue boxes.That's weird.....they did it to confuse ya...?!
Housing electrical green is typically ground. Way different than car electrical.
Thanks!Wow that ***** ! I love the new Alts !

Positive goes to positiveYeah, but I'm still confused about wiring them to the blue boxes.
The Transpo regulators have three terminals: positive, ground, and field
Thanks!
No.Positive goes to positiveNeg goes to neg
Field wire goes to switched 12v source

Yeah negative does go ground same **** as negative..No.
The regulator's negative terminal is grounded. The positive terminal is connected to switched 12v+ power. The field terminal is the output that goes to the alternator.
I am wondering what to do with the two alternator pins and the field output terminal from the regulator.
Have you ever used one of these?
I'm sitting here looking at the printed installation guide that came with the regulator.Yeah negative does go ground same **** as negative..
But field is what gets the regulator up and going.. Positive is what identifies the power from reg sensor..
If you had a 4 wire transpo then the orange wire would be 12v ignition.
Isnt it a 3 wire transpo with red, green, black?
And yes i had 2

To make it easier yes your guess is right..I'm sitting here looking at the printed installation guide that came with the regulator.
Field is NOT what excites the regulator. It is a three wire regulator. The positive terminal is switched power and the field terminal goes to the alternator.
Tell me this: If the positive and negative are connected to constants and the field terminal is connected to switched power, then what goes to the alternator?
The information I need is what to do with the alternator plug wires. My best guess would be to run the "field +" wire to the field terminal on the regulator and ground the "field -" wire.
ok, positive still needs to be switched so it doesn't drain batteriesTo make it easier yes your guess is right..
Im half way drunk bro..
You can run the positive wire aka bat wire to the alt post if your really wanted too.
I used a relay..
