RE: IML: 1959 Generator Field vs Armature Post (How to Tell?)

["ernie stepney" <estepney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Glen:
The larger of the two posts is armature and the smaller is field. There
is also a screw for a ground wire back to the regulator base. Don't
forget to polarize it before starting the engine, see the FSM.

Subject: IML: 1959 Generator Field vs Armature Post (How to Tell?)


Hello all-

I removed the wiring harness in my 1959 Imperial Custom in order to
reduce the 
wiring to the minimum necessary to run the car. (It had a fire before I
owned 
it - the harness was quite crisp.) That was a success, but I want to
hook up 
the generator again, and do not know which post is field and which is 
armature. How can I make this determination? With the car running, they
both 
show a positive voltage. I'd look at my other Imperial but I stole its
less 
toasted regulator!

I can make a picture available if needed.

Thanks
