[Spridgets] Bugeye/Frogeye Club..... Change from Generator to 1-wire Alternator

[Gerard]

BTW Norm,

It's "all brown" as in all wires that have brown as the main color,  
not "all brown" as in only brown.

On Spridgets and Morris, the blue tracer designates power to the  
lighting circuit. A1 is typically the wire that goes to the lighting  
switch.

... and yes, 1 wire alternators are just that... one wire to the  
battery, only other wire wire (if there is one) is to ground. It's  
recommended that you use a short length of fusible link between the  
battery and the plus on the alternator too.
