On mine, using this internally regulated alternator, the one brown wire that comes off of the alternator plug runs into a connector that holds the blue and white wires, which in turn connect to what would normally be the blue and white terminals voltage regulator. As per M & H, the guys whose wiring set-up I have, on this alternator, the white wire that would otherwise connect to the single brown wire connector coming out of the alternator is not "used" and, therefore, "deadheads", or does not connect in that connector. Also, and because of this style alternator, of course you know that this set-up does not use use a voltage regulator.... Check this thread where a lot of our Forum pros helped me out: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=604860

terminal where the voltage regulator used to be. If it's the same set-up as mine, it should work just right. Thanks to the guys on that thread and info from a call to M & H.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I installed my new glovebox liner. And worked on the RH side window, it would not roll down - it was all rusted up. And once it was all WD40'd up, I found out that the window regulator is worn out and now the window won't stay up when I shut the door or when I hit a bump while going down the road. Bummer!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Went from buckets "back" to bench. The "Boss" wanted to put in the bench seat we got (and have had stashed) since I started the build five years ago.
These buckets will probably be available free ('04 blazer...electric/leather 9.25 out of ten 10) for a Forum Member to pick up. But I first have to ask my pal that gave them to me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Been married 41 years +.
Over the years, I've had the temptation of trying "new things". But I've always contained the responses to those urges to the inside of the automotive realm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Besides, she bought this seat, suggested we try the seat, and loves the way it looks. Last week, I did a "heavy-hand" and broke the cheap-o center console. I searched for a new one....A hundred for this one, $159 for this one, $350 for another.... This morning, in order to dig out the Christmas decorations, I had to move the bench seat that I plasti-wrapped almost five years ago. One thing lead to another.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Boys,
Speaking as a person who *does* have **** for brains, I did not consider that a slam.... ![]() ![]() Also, I *do* dig my new seat. Sort'a "traditional"...sort'a.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hey, everyone likes what they like right, if nobody likes my truck I don't care because I like it, I may not like yours but do say that I try to appreciate "all" builds, mine are way different than they were when I was a kid.
