There is a section on Motorola alternators in my '76 Motors manual, but they all have external regulators. Yours is a later internally regulated model.

If, as stated above, you have two terminals coming out of the unit; one large one (1/4" - 5/16"), and one small one (10-24 or 10-32) it's easy. The large terminal goes to the battery, and the smaller one goes to the ignition (it energizes the alternator).

If more terminals, you need to do more research. Find a shop with a book on your alt with a schematic. Find a shop that repairs alternators, and let them test it. Then tell you how it hooks up. It may need rebuilding anyway.

Last. Open the catalog and get a one wire alt, and bolt it in.
