ford 631 wiring

[losthighway8]

I bought a 631 and it was converted to 12v.....it has a one wire alternator. Have any of you hooked up the charge light with a one wire alternator and how did you do it/can it be done? Im going to rewire this thing because theres like 6 wire hooled up to the hkt side of the solenoid. Also does it matter where the resistor for the coil goes? Between coil and distributer or before coil or does it matter. Right now the guy has it hooked up between the coil and distributer. One wire from coil to resistor and one wire from resitor to distributer.

epends on the particular one wire alt...some yes,some not. Connect light between #1 on alt and switched side of ign sw. On resistor, no it does not matter, but you will find more telling you that it does than not. That will be due to incomplete knowledge. However, sticking with convention, it would be between ign sw and coil.

Thank you much. All i saw on the alternator was one wire coming off of it.....didnt even see #1 or #2 but ill look again when i get off work. I figure the resistor didnt matter because it runs fine and ive used it to move a bunch of 3x3 bales.....coil didnt burn up but i just wanted to make sure.
