I believe the field input terminal to the older CS alternator is meant to be loaded by the BATT lamp.On trucks that used a gauge with no bulb this circuit utilized a resistor wire. So if you have it wired directly you could either put a 194 bulb into the circuit, utilize the BATT lamp in the exiting cluster or maybe add a 40- 50 ohm resistor.

  Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a seemingly simple problem. I have a 94 TBI 350 in an 86 chevy truck that keeps burning up alternators. It has the original harness with the one wire exciter connector, which I have powered with 12v 5amp fuse. The only other wire is output to battery. With engine running the alternator never sounds like it turns off. Could this be caused by a bad or lack of ground? Thank you for your time,

                                          Clayton Martiniuk
