Got this from an old post from classic. This sounds right, but I can verify on mine when I get home.
I finally got the alternator v-belt pulley on and spaced out properly. So now I just needed to get the wiring done. I got the 175 mega fuse in and was just looking for a 12 volt wire for "I" on the alternator. After talking to tech support at Centech, he told me to use the green "REG S" wire. I had a blown fuse was why I couldnt find it in the first place. DUH. Hooked it all up and wa-la, 14.5 volts. Took it to my buddies battery store and put it on the tester. It pulled 60 amps at idle before the belt started squeeking. Then we revved it up and it pulled 160 amps at 14 volts. No belt squeeking. Looks like its working!
I left the large yellow alternator wire unhooked. Just need to install a volt meter and I'm done.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same set up. Just follow BC Broncos wiring schematic and all will work.
