66 Alternator Wiring
« on: May 13, 2011, 07:59:35 PM »
Hey folks,

Is this how the wiring harness should be routed on my 66 C-Code?

If not, does someone have a picture of how it should be?

Not the greatest shot - not easy with everything in the car ;)

Hope it helps a little

Thanks Jeff,

That's how it is drawn in the Osborne Manual.

I assume the STATOR post doesn't get any wire on the 66's.

The "stator" post is used only with an idiot light light so it is not used on a 66 Mustang.  Other ford applications used the idiot light during the 66 producton year.
