The wiring will be different depending on what amperage alternator your car has, and if you have sport cluster or not. Need more info. ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |

This may help, although this image is from a '75 shop manual. Good luck ------------- www.supermotors.net/22468 Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

The diagram posted above by aquartlow, is the same for a 73. You need the diagram for an ammeter charging system. The I terminal is not used on a sport cluster car. The A terminal is battery power to the regulator. The wire is yellow with white dots. It goes to the battery power side of the starter solenoid, and usually has a fusible link at the end. The S terminal is key power from the ignition switch. It should be green with a red stripe. The F terminal goes to the Field terminal on the alternator. It should be orange with a light blue stripe. ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |
