Hi all,
I am new to rovers, I just purchased a 73 Series 3 109 SW RHD 2.25 petrol fresh of the boat from England. I am having a great time getting to know the Landy, but I am looking for some help with the alternator. It seems that the alternator is not hooked up to anything (which explains why the battery kept on dying….). I need to get this thing charging and on the cheap, so I was hoping someone could explain what wires go where, it has the standard Lucas alternator, which has the 3 spades on it and I gather from trying to decipher the Circuit diagram that 2 of the wires connect up to the starter solenoid and one goes off else where. What sized wires do I need to use and what spades of to what on the solenoid and else where? Also does there need to be an earth connection coming from the alternator? I greatly appreciate your time and assistance of this.
