This is the best/clearest explanation of how it works that I've found. I think it will answer your questions.</div>

<div>I'm sliding down this slippery slope of modification and need some help.</div>
<div>I'm trying to put a ND 3 wire alternator into my BE. It's already converted to Negative ground and I'm intending on rewiring the regulator per Barney Gaylord to just use it as a terminal block.</div>
<div>Here's the issue, the alternator has a Battery Positive Sense (S) terminal, a Keyed Battery Ignition (I) terminal and an Indicator Light (L) terminal.
<br>
</div>
<div>I'm assuming that the S terminal should get the 'fat' brown wire that used to go to the D terminal on the regulator (new placement the A terminal after rewiring), and that the L terminal goes to the small yellow wire to feed power to shut off the charge
light. <br>
</div>
<div>Do I need to wire the I terminal (Keyed battery ignition) so that it sees power when the ignition switch is on (the white wire at A1 of the regulator), or is this redundant and unnecessary?</div>
<div>TIA, the new engine/5 speed/speedhut tach & speedo are all coming together to drive this spring!<br>
