3 Wire Alternator: Terminal Identification

Posted by PaulW_NJ on May 30, 2005 at 17:26:59 from (70.111.151.143):

My 51 Cub had been converted to a 12v negative ground alternator system when I bought it. However, I don"t believe the alternator was ever connected properly. It is a Toshiba alternator.

There are 3 connections: a bolt (labelled "B") and two spade lugs (one labelled "L", and the other not labelled). I understand that the B post goes back to the battery. The spade lugs are where I am confused. I found archives that identify spade lugs on a Delco alternator as #1 and #2, and describe how to wire them up (#2 is a jumper back to the B post, and #1 connects back to the ignition switch). However, I"m not sure how to relate that to my alternator.

Is anyone familiar with this alternator and can you tell me which terminal my "L" lug is?

Thanks alot.
