Alternator wiring

I been try to fix the truck and I bought a ignition coil and and alternator for it and tried to do an OBD1 it's*On Board Diagnostic; The engine management computer can give up data concerning engine trouble. And it does not work so I was wondering if it's the computer? Thank you

If you ran an alternator without a voltage regulator, you may have post-toastied some electronics.

I am almost sure the alternator in you video is a externally regulated alternator the stock alternator for your truck should look somthing like this.http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-INDUSTR...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec2f5efe5&vxp=mtr You see the regulator mounted on the back with a 4 terminal wire connector. Yours has the bat-stat-fld and gnd the diodes are internal but it still needs a regulator to control the flow of electricity. There is a 1 wire 7078 that would make your life alot easier actually thinking of putting one on my 83 ranger when mine craps out. If it will fit?

thats the alternator i need but i have a different one than this one

finally got a guy to fix my truck. he said the starter was bad so bought a new one and my wiring was bad so put my engine on 0" top dead center and wired the distributor, set the timing and now it starts up strong but now when i turn the key on run it rev's and when i turn the key to the on position it dies? so what do u think?

if you look at the voltage regulator it has letters that match the back of the alternator. just pick a wire and track it down. s for s, f for f, ext. thats how i did it
