Just finished reading the instructions to wiring a B&C L-40 40 Amp Alternator and wanted some varification of my understanding as to my application.(Fig. Z13)
(Question1...Why two male connectors on the alternator at the F position). (Question2: How is the best way to ground the alternator?)
I would run an 18awg from the LR3 #4 position to the two F male connection on the alternator per the following instructions:
5. Install the field plug on the harness. Refer to the diagram below for the correct terminal locations. Even though only one field connection is required, it is recommended both terminals be installed in the connector body to help stabilize the connector under high vibration conditions. It is further recommended that the two terminals be jumped together for a redundant field connection. This may be accomplished by crimping a short (2 or 3") jumper along with the field wire from the regulator in one of the terminals. Place a short length of heat shrink tubing over the wires before crimping. Install a second short piece of shrink tube over the free end of the jumper. The other end of the jumper is then crimped in the second terminal. Solder both terminals and the shrink the tubing over the wires and the crimped area of the terminals. Install the terminals in the slots in the connector body. Check to see that the terminals have locked into the connector body. Install the connector in the alternator and be sure the connector locks into the alternator receptacle
