can ANYONE point me in the right direction as to what the I A S F stands for on the voltage regulator...its where the plug goes in. This would be an 84 3.8 cougar with external voltage regulator.. im having er..charging problems...that can result in a fire if i hook up the battery....lol need to know what goes where to make sure wires are in the right place and not accidently grounding out.... when i hook up the battery's negative terminal the batt wire from the alternator gets hot n starts to smoke if i leave it on too long :-| need help soon this is my only car thanks yall
I= Ignition switch (used with idiot light)
A= Alternator +
S= Stator
F= Field
Did I post a diagram for you with the two different hook ups, one for idiot light the other for ammeter? Or was that somebody else?
yes you did post the diagram for me thank you very much. let me switch my field and stator into the right spot....lol but the MAIN problem was not beign able to hook up my battery without wires catching ablaze.....was a really bad ground n i found it....called postive cable on negative post of batter lmao i feel like such an idiot :crazy:
