Hi, can someone help me out with my alternator conversion? I have a 1962 F100 with the 223 six in it, my generator has packed in so I am going to replace it with an alternator I have. I need help on the wiring. The alternator has a D+ connection and B+ connection. I know the D+ is for the warning light and the B+ is the battery connection (right??) my question is what happens to the 2 small wires that were connected to my generator? One must be the warning light but what is the other and where do I connect it? The big wire off the generator goes to the B+, right?? Also what do I do with the regulator box on the inner fender? Thanks.

I did the same with my '62 unibody, but picked up a later model harness. I think it was from a junk '72 pickup. You only need the charging harness which is self contained. Take a look at this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39537&highlight=reggie+one+wire+alternator. I may be of some help.
