Re: Alternator Replacement / Modernization 140 73

It's been way to many years!!! I've looked at my car, and I'm looking at my manuals. The wiring is very simple. The BIG red one is a no brainer. You will remove the external regulator from the car. Now, assuming that your 142 is the same as my 145, is your car a US model? The wire that plugs onto the "D+" spot on the old regulator is the one you want. It will be the other wire to the new alt. This wire comes from a 6pin connector near the battery, it is also the connector for the front left side marker light. What I did, was to run a new wire from this connector over to the alternator. Plug it in and it works.

Hope this helps. Happy charging!

Wes
