2 pin connector, not 4. do i have to use the diode? which wire shoud get power?

it works as a 1 wire, but seems to drop off voltage as load increases...and i know my car isnt creating anywhere near the amp load this thing is rated for...

Are the 2 wires gray and brown?

We run a set up like this. just the battery lead hooked up nothing in the two other leads

See voltage with everthing on. lights, ac and EFI about 13.5-6. Has not been a problem for us yet

dont know what coors they are, i dont have the pigtail lol

it charges ok, but i thought maybe it would work better with the field wires connected.

The ECM controls it. Field wires won't do anything. Not like the older ones.

When you get the connector...

The brown wire goes to pin 15 of the Green ECM connector and the Gray wire goes to pin 75 also in the Green ECM connector.

The ECM will then control the Alternator.

Its a carb setup. No ecm.

Gray is the Field Duty Signal so that needs 12 volts (Ign on).

Brown is for one side of the Idiot light. 12 Volts (Ign on) the other side of the light. Otherwise a 470 ohm resistor between this wire and 12 volts (Ign on).

Let me know how that works for you.

From the research I did 2 years ago you could not hook one up like that.

More info on this? 2 pin alternator need anything other than the charge wire to the battery/starter? Seems to be a split here between people that say wire the 2 pins or leave them empty.
