Hey all
I have a 89 firebird with 383, Super Ram, Gen VII ECM, and lots of electrical loads, (4 fans, water pump, fuel pump, stereo amps , etc...).

My engine compartment electriacl wireing was re-done (custom) by me and now I need to know where to hook up the field wire on the alt. My fan setup is not the same as stock, therefore where is a good location to hookup the field wire. Any comments and suggestions will be appreicated.

Thanks in advance.

re-post from gen tech forum.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is field wire?

 

The Field wire or what some people call the sense wire. is the load that tells the alternator to increase or decerase the voltage.

What I did find is that the fuseable link that supplies the car fuse box, was casueing some problems, as soon as I replaced that fuseable link the voltage seems to be working just fine

 

Ok good, thanks for the explaination.
