Re: Pigtail On Positive Battery Cable...
Where did the factory connect the alternator output wire to on a '83/'84 thirdgen? Was it connected directly to the Positive battery terminal? Was it connected to the pigtail wire on the Positive battery cable? Was it connected to the Positive terminal on the starter?
Someone here must know...
