Lars Turner Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hello, I have an eighty-six F One Fifty that I am converting to points, carb, and elimination of all smog and the computer. The alternator wiring seems a bit overwhelming for a component that has a simple job of providing power. I'm looking for a clear diagram that shows exactly where each wire from the alternator goes and eventually winds up. Such a clear diagram should also help me decide if I need to make any changes to the charging system as a result of having removed the computer. Thanks in advance for any help.

Gary Lewis Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Lars - Welcome! Where's home? As for the diagrams, you've come to the right place. There are two documents that should do what you want: 1986 Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM): This breaks each system down into a page or two and explains how it works. Wiring Diagrams: On that page you will find the large 24" x 12.5" multi-page wiring diagrams. At first blush they will seem overwhelming on-screen, but if you use the pop-out icon they'll open up in a new browser page and you can zoom and scroll to your heart's content. So, are you building a doom's day truck? Something to withstand an EMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
