[mustang79]

I am swapping the old alternator of my 79 coupe. An upgraded 2G will do the job now.

However, two questions concerning wiring. In a 2G wiring diagram I noticed the green/red wire will go to the charge indicator lamp. but my 79 is equipped with an ammeter. So, can I use this wire to connect to the ammeter as well or could it cause any damage to other parts?

Last question concerns the stator plug wire. Can I leave the the original stator plug wire untouched and move the stator plug wire of the alternator plug (white/black) to the S wire of the voltage regulator plug?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Find a switched source of power through the ignition switch and put a 500 ohm resistor in line between it and the green/red wire and plug it into the 2G. That circuit is waht "turns on" the regulator for the alternator. You could add a light in parrallel with the resistor like the stock circuit and put it in the dash as a charge indicator light.
