Working a 73 which I got running after it sat for many years. Recently pulled it to swap out the front axle and add powersteering. I pulled the column and reinstalled went to start and got nothing
Under the hood found the black and red wire ground to the Voltage regulator had Melted, not sure when but the copper looks very oxidized. Digging further found the stator wire from the alternator laying on the intake along the passenger side not connected to anything. I can’t find another loose wire it may have connected to.
This truck has the original alternator and wiring harness with Batt wire, field wire(orange) and Stator wire(yellow/blk)
Voltage regulator is yellow , green/red and orange, black/red ground
What should the stator wire connect to from the alternator?
Under the dash ignition switch found the yellow wire in poor condition which I repaired. An empty terminal above it and a loose purple wire with no terminal.
The other wires to the ignition switch seem fine is that spade supposed to empty or does the purple wire go there?
Thanks in advance
