hello,

 

ive coming to the last few wires of my new loom that need to find a good home :).

 

ive installed the big plug on my alternator but there`s also the small wire to plug, but my alternator doesn`t seem to have such plug ?

 

what shall i do with the cable ?

Picture of the alternator ? or this might resolve your problem and answer it http://www.theminifo...ons-spade-stud/

 mine has the connections of an alternator up to 65amps, and thats connected correctly, 

 

but i still have this little wire also coming out of the loom that if i`m right needs to be connected to the alternator ? 

its a white/black whire

That would normally go to the coil, not the alternator

[dklawson]

As above.  Whit/black wires are used on the "low" side of the coil.  On negative earth cars they attach to the coil (-) terminal, the terminal that has a wire connected to the distributor.  

 

You said this is a new loom.  There are likely to be (2) such wires.  One will be a short loop that goes from the distributor to coil (-) as I mentioned above.  The second wire (when fitted) is typically present for a tachometer connection.  You are likely to find another white/black wire emerging from the loom near the instrument cluster.  If you do not have a tach, leave both ends of the wire disconnected.  If you have a tach (factory or aftermarket) you can connect the engine bay end of the white/black to coil (-) and connect the other (instrument cluster) end of the wire to your tachometer's sense wire.

i understand that, but on my loom,

 

where the distributor is, there is a white 12v after contact wire and 2 white/black wires together in on spade to go on the coil. 

 

so as you are saying the white/black in the picture wich is leaving the loom later then the other 2 is a tacho wire ? 

 

there also is one at the instrument pack...

On a car with points you normally have a small wire coming out of the distributor which plugs into a white/black wire in the loom.

 

If you already have the double white/black on one spade connected to the coil negative. then the wire you are showing should be the one the dizzy plugs into

trying to follow here, 

 

my dizzy only arrives next week :) its a powerspark one. 

 

so i won`t need this one anymore if i`m right

normally electronic dizzys like powerspark, have 2 wire red and black...you may find the black wire as the correct spade fitting to plug into that white/black terminal...if so use it.

will see when it arrives friday :)

 

thanks already
