I have a 95amp 10SI from an Oldsmobile. 3 wire setup, not a one wire, on my old Jeep. If your alternator is a one wire (as stated) it may not be reaching the RPM needed to make it start charging. One wires require alternator residual output to start, or a continuously on setup in the internal regulator, which can drain the battery when operated only once a month or so. The three wire setup is really going to do the trick. Terminal B (big output stud) has a 10 gauge wire to the battery (through a fuse link that is 5% larger in amp rating than the chosen 10SI) the #2 sedge spade terminal also attaches to that same big stud with a #12 wire and terminal ring. The number 1 terminal connects to the ignition at the Key/switch, not the coil. Ford engines use a resistor in the ignition circuit quite often, and this connection needs a switched 12v. The wire just described must have a resistor in it this keeps the alternator from making the engine keep running with the switch off. The resistor can be one of three things, it can be a light bulb like a marker light, a 10 ohm resistor (not the same as a ballast resistor), or a diode that allows electricity to flow from Key to alternator, but not the other way) 4 amp 100piv diodes are cheap from Ebay. the band on the diode needs to be facing the alternator.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that this Major was produced late 1946. It was almost complete but had various parts that would definitely need replacing.
