Sounds like you can take the ground wire off and hook up your 2 field wires.



That's what I was thinking. I ordered a brush set and hopefully for 5 bucks it will come with a brush with an isolator and a 1/4" tab to hook the other wire to and then it will ground through the regulator itself. At least this is how I perceive it to be. After looking at it now though I don't know if it's possible as the brush has a small hole to go in and I don't know how the isolator would fit.

One set of brushes goes in from the side and the other rides on top of the stator I guess.

Advance auto is screwed up because they say this is the same alternator listed for 70-71 dusters. I told him to look up my cuda and it came up with the same part number too. Unbelievable. The one I have is definitely a "round back" alternator. I guess I need the square back alternator.

Looks like a trip to Napa tomorrow. Maybe even autozone has the correct one for my car. Anybody know autozone pn for the square back alternator with single pulley?
