88 242 LS alternator hookup?
 
Hello again everyone.

Just recieved the alternator and it is alittle different than the original. It has 4 terminals and I have four wires so we are good there. ARCO Alt by the way.

I have red (positive), black (negative), orange (charge), purple (excite).

On the back of the alternator it is there is a positive post, negative post, and then two posts labeled ACC. Are these two ACC posts for my purple and orange wires and which goes where?

Thanks agsain guys I appreciate it.

I figured I'd give this one more shot, oreo get in touch with me, if you don't want to sell, I want some details on the motor, and did you ever see where she tops out at?

oreokid220 11-06-2007 09:38 PM

I am here. I am getting pictures. I have been running the boat in CT the last couple of weekends. She is running strong and not sure on a speed yet because the speedo is getting stuck around 55 and then wont let go. Sorry I havent been around because I have been ripping out the old sea foam green carpet and adding nice fresh carpet.
What boat are you looking at in CT because I might have seen it.
