This is actually for my 47 cj2a 'heep'.
It was converted to 12v alternator with voltage regulator before I got it, and I decided to keep that superior system.
I have F on regulator hooked to F on alternator.
I have 2 on regulator hooked to R on alternator.
I have 3 and 4 tied together and hooked to the coil, or somewhere in the positive side (I have moved it, currently in the fuse box now - was on coil +).
4 is the exciter and 3 is the voltage tap - supposed to tell the thing when to lay off the charging if I remember correctly.
The problem is, that the alternator seems to be putting power back into the electrical system and so when I have the 3/4 wire on, the alternator backs up power into the system and so the engine doesn't cut off.
So...what do I do with them wires? Or is it an alternator problem with it putting out a charge on the F/R wires? Or is it that the voltage regulator is dumping power out? I could eliminate wire 3, seen that before.
I have rewired the whole heep and have the positive from battery going into the ignition switch, which turns on everything. And there ain't much there other than lights and engine.
Thanks - and that's why you haven't seen me posting much lately as I have been traveling for work, and when not traveling, working on the jeep. As for the 59 - well - it just goes and goes and goes...
