bubba22349 or anyone else that can help me : I recently bought a voltage regulator wiring kit, but the new one i bought had 6 wires, when my old one had 4. I am 15 and working on this but am at a snag with this. How would i wire this into the existing system. this is the wire kit i bought: http://www.cjponyparts.com/VOLTAGE-REGU ... /p/HW2490/
Thanks for the help

for your VR, i think your best bet would be to look at your existing harness and take note of where every connection on the alternator ends up on the VR, and install the new kit to match. for the extra wires, study the voltage regulator itself to see if there are connectors in those positions, if not, the extra wires are useless, and may be cut off or coiled out of the way, your choice. if there are connectors for those wires, a wiring diagram might help you find where they go. one may be an extra ground, or for a feature your car doesn't have...
the first thing to do is unplug the existing harness from the VR and make sure the new one fits, then go from there

First before ALL else.UNHOOK your battery ground cable.The VR grounds through the VR
case IIRC,and it WILL bite.Ask me how I know.Hehehehe.
Good luck.Have fun.

The I terminal on regulator is for an indicator light (dash or idiot light) it is not used on some Ford model's like when they use an amp gauge instead. That is why the extra wire is on your harness so can be used on any alternator system.
