Re: Installing Bosch Alternator 200 1980

Bob, thanks for the response-

As I type this message, I am actually nearly 100 miles away from my car: it's dead at home, and I am in college right now. In other words, I do not have the convenience of going to the garage and looking at it until this friday. For this reason, the D+/61 that you referred to could be the same wires I am talking about. Let me clarify: the positive assembly (red wires) is where I am confused. There is of course, the bolt on (fatter)wire which is self explanitory. Like you said however, there is an additional (smaller) red wire. On my rebuilt alternator, this plugs into a tooth. The best way I can describe it is a .25 cm square--the wire has the female, the alternator has the male. The problem is that there are two possibilities (on the alternator) for this: One is marked + and the other D+ (I originally said B+, but this is probably just bad memory on my part). I don't remember there being more than one possibility on the old alternator; however, this was identical and non-original/rebuilt in terms of everything else.

The only other factor I can remember is that the wires themselves are quite old, so some of the insulation is gone, thereby exposing the copper.

Thanks for any additional help!

Max (if this makes no sense, let me know)
