I just did a duraspark converstion of sorts and the rest of the truck runs great except for the choke which I haven't figured out where to wire it...
My alternator has 3 hook ups on the back one is going to the battery and power distribution (Black/Orange) the other is going to the voltage regulator (Orange/light blue) and it is on the bottom white connector.
I think the top connector is the one to the stator windings or whatever, I left it blank and wasn't sure weather to hook the choke up to it or if it needed something else first.
My dad thinks I F-ed up my alt. by not having anything on it, and that it has been running on the battery for the last week and a half even though it still starts fine and I have had my off road lights on for atleast 20 + hours.
So is my alt. f**ked and can I hook the choke directly to the alt. right there? I believe it is the 65 amp but could still be the 40 amp.
