Chris, This sounds like you have a fairly common Bosch alternator and easy to wire up in a 1600. Bosch Field (when present) and Ind terminals are opposite to Hitachi just to confuse us and the markings, well they are something else again, probably means something useful in German.
This Bosch alternator was sourced off a donor that has an electric choke, if it was a Datsun then 200B/Stanza/Bluey S1 or S2 are likely contenders. The B+ is Batt(ery) (thick white wire) The D- terminal is just an Earth (Black wire) and is also used for the body of a radio suppressor. The D+ terminal is the Ind(icator) and this is where the Chg wire (yellow) is connected to. The + terminal which is a round plug inside a plastic square insulator is where the choke wire goes, the idea is that the choke only gets power when the alternator is charging. Not a perfect system as if the reg fails the choke coil doesn't heat up. Insulate the Field wire (White/black) so it doesn't touch anything and create a shower of sparks (not likely but better to be safe). OK, check the wire colours at the alternator especially the D+ terminal. If you made a wire up, then where did you connect the other end to (should be plugged into the White/red wire at the 6 pin external reg plug). Are any wires connected at the 6 pin external reg plug behind the battery or is the female connectors just open like the external reg was just unplugged and discarded. For the Chg light to work you connect a pigtail from the Yellow wire to White/red wire. If everything looks like it hooked up correctly then Have you checked that the alternator is charging OK? The dash light is good? There's nothing too tricky with the '69 dash that I'm aware of so lets see how you go before we start getting serious with it. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Simpson Sent: Tuesday, 18 June 2002 1:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: alternator questions Terry, I dont want to put you on a pinnacle but have a go at this alternator. Ive got a bosch IR one, but, in the normal T section it only has a male terminal in the (--) position. In the (|) position there is a hole, but no male terminal. Near the T, just up a little is a small white plastic square with a small circle in the middle of it which looks like it may have special connector in it, but ive never seen one like this. Next to that it just has a (+) written in the casing. Over the other side is also a D- inscribed in the casing next to a slotted screw. Im pretty stumped and have been following other peoples questions and your answers, but i cant get the ign light to come one on the dash! Its a 70 model, but is a jap 69 shell with the long dash, not sure if it makes any difference. All the other connections are "normal" to what you've been saying. 4 pin connector to the alt 6 pin connector where the External REg used to be any idea's???
