alternator HELP

Hi all Ive got my car on the road now! BUT I made my own wiring loom & the alternator dosent seem to work? I dont no if Ive wired it correctly ?Its only got 2 terminals on the top a threaded one towards the pully & a spade conection towards the fan housing .Please can any one help?

The spade connector connects to one of the terminals of the Alt. warning light in the dash. The wire that bolts down goes to the positive battery connection on the starter. (Use a heavier gauge of wire for this)

Thanks Bill thats the way Ive wired it ,this means theres is a prob with alternater!Cheers Bill

here in california u can take it to the auto parts store and they will hook it up to see if working.

Is your light working? Does it light up when the key is turned on? The wiring for this light should have + from the key and then the other side of the light is attached to the spade connector on the alternator. You also have to jab the throttle to excite the alternator.

Have you put a tester to the alternator to see what voltage it is producing?

it's probably the exciter wire (spade connection)

if your dash light doesn't go on w/ignition and out with engine running - your alt isn't charging.

Thank guys for all your help,looks like its sorted , hoping to get sprayed soon ,Ill send some photos of da build ,hoping to finish in time for my wedding (end of May)??????????????
