Two pin alternator

Which one should I use to run the cable back to the battery?

The pin nearest engine block?

????

Stock Chrysler Alternator????

If it is a 2 field wire alternator (little wires) these should go back to the Regulator.

There is a bigger stud and this is the OUTPUT and this goes (eventually) to the battery (direct or via the Bulkhead plug if standard and risky..)

If in doubt post some pictures up as I may have got the wrong end of the stick (or you have ;) ;) ;) ;) )

yeah need a picture

but its a stud quite fat and insulated totally from the case by a thick plastic or fibre washer


unless yours has spade connectors all in a row

in which case dunno. but the model number and make will find a diagram on google images with things like B, D+, D-, and FLD picked out

can have a good guess then

Ok, will get a pic

Certainly have the large insulated nut thing.

So the other two spades go to the voltage reg.

Is there a left and right or does it not matter?
