...my connection to the Voltage Regulator Has I/A/S/F for wire labels. The (I) connection doesnt belong there correct?
Correct. Not used on EB's or similar vintage trucks using an ammeter instead of an indicator light on the dash. Strange, but completely different wiring between the two types of dashboards.
Follow Viper's chart and you should be good to go.
...and for the (S) connection it has Two white wires do they go to the ignition Switch?
One does. Sounds like you have one of the generic connectors with all the wrong wire colors on it. Lots of those around, so it's common.
That connection on a stock wiring harness would normally be the Green w/red stripe one coming from the ignition switch. No need for two.
On other Fords, the "S" normally stands for "stator" but in our case, I prefer to think of it as "switched" instead.
So, your connections should be like this:
F= Field wire to the alternator's "F" or "FLD" post. Should be Orange.
S= Switched Green w/red from ignition switch.
A= Usually two Yellow wires. One samples system voltage and is connected either to the starter relay/solenoid or spliced into the Black w/red wire from the relay.
Just verify it's connected to a constant 12v source nearby and you're good.
The second Yellow is usually connected to a capacitor/condenser thingy that is a radio noise suppressor. Should be a little silver cylinder bolted to the outside of the regulator at the mounting bolt.
i want to take it out for a road trip, but what can i do to it so it wont break down? any suggestions will be appreciated.
Nope. Not until we know more about the rig. But basically, if you're running out of gas, how long has it been since you replaced the fuel pump? How long does the truck sit before it's driven again? Old fuel pumps get old with age too, not just with mileage.
But do what all the others have suggested too. You have new filter and some new lines I think? Good start.
What about the plugs? Where did .040" gaps come into the conversation? If you have points type ignition, that's too big of a gap in my opinion. Should be more like .035" unless you have a better ignition. Don't remember all the details and am running out so didn't have time to carefully re-read all the posts.
