It has a rubber plug over 2 terminals that seem to be part of the regulator. Can I use them somehow to make this a 3 wire system? Or might it be possible to jsut use the system as one wire as long as I rev up the engine temporarily to energize the alternator to get it started. [Reply]   [No Email]

They install something that's a self exciter that's why it needs to be revved up to charge. Pull off the rubber boot & look for the two tabs if there then yes. [Reply]  [No Email]

The alternator will keep putting out power to the distributor. [Reply]  [No Email]
