I removed my 12 volt generator from my '51 1300 and can't remember which wire goes where. There is a big wire and a smaller wire . The terminals are marked F and A ; field and armature I think.
I look at my Delco Remy regulator and see 3 wires going to the leeds - 2 big wires and 1 small wire.How can I figure this out ? I don't see any markings on the regulator. Any guesses ?
Thanks Jeff

The small wire is the field & the larger wire is the armature. Some have a ground wire in there also. The pass. side of the regulator is red wire, hot all the time. The center is the arm. & the driver side is the field. After you get it hooked up take a little piece of wire & touch it momentarily from the hot lead to the arm. term. This polarizes the gen.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
