I am installing a harness in my 46.
I have 2 Installation sheets from the same vendor (JC) same P/N ELW4046. Question:
One sheet says Wire from BAT on Regulator to AMP left post. The other sheet says Wire from BAT on Regulator to AMP right post.
Which is correct?
Does it make a difference which post?
Thanks,
Harold

If the load is hooked to the wrong side, the needle will head toward the plus side when lights are turned on, then just switch sides.

Harold,

Is there a chance there is a note on one/both sheet regarding them/it referencing Chevrolet vs GMC?

ELW4046

1934 - 1939 Chevrolet (with voltage regulator) [negative ground] ... 1936 - 1939 GMC (with voltage regulator)[positive ground]."

Tim,
No, there are no notes on the sheets. Somehow both copies wound up in my shipment. I have it all laid out in the truck ready to attach the switches & gauges. I guess I will do as Ed suggested. Change sides if the needle heads to positive.
