There are three blade type connectors in the
alternators receptacle housing. Only one connection is used for the field
wire. Note however that two of the wire connector tabs in the
alternator housing are internally connected together and they can both be
connected to the field wire for
redundancy.
Neal,
Interesting. I didn't answer the original problem because I never had
such a difficulty. However, I now remember that B&C recommends that do
use all the tabs and, as you say, double connect the two field tabs for greater
stability. It is also useful to smear some dilectic grease on the
contacts.
As a matter of fact, the following URL gets you to the belt-driven
boss-mount alternator install instructions:
Check it out!
