My Series V came to me with a generator. The generator is bad so I want to replace it with an alternator. Apparently the generator had been installed on the car by a previous owner. It is connected to a Lucas RB340 voltage regulator. Looking at the wiring I have three brown wires attached to spades on voltage regulator (at the B terminals). One goes directly to the solenoid starter switch. The other two are connected to a single spade connector and disappear into the wiring harness.
My questions are:
1) Where do these wires go?
2) How do I connect the alternator?
3) In trying to trace the wires I discovered a thick black wire that runs from the engine compartment through the firewall. It is not connected to anything in the engine bay. Any idea what this wire is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
