67 Barracuda alternator with 2 FLD connections

Sorry Pishta... did you say yes ?
Wiring is like a second language... I can speak one word at a time but not comprehend an entire sentence.. lol

QUOTE="pishta, post: 1972994979, member: 383"]^^ yes or no, depending on what your calling a terminal^^

1 spade FLD terminal and one 3/8 power lug YES

2 terminal (lets call it 2 isolated field terminals) alt gets steady power into one field via electronic VR as the fields are isolated and the 2nd field (does not matter which one) get a variable ground from the EVR. This regulates the alternator output voltage. The single field alt get a variable power in (by pulse width breaker point and a resistive feed from mechanical VR). Dual field will work with a mechanical VR with one field strapped to ground as shown with big jumper screwed to case. IIRC the cost was not the issue, it was a safer design (no regulator points to weld shut and cause a runaway alternator) and then to more closely regulate the power for the new Electronic ignition for 73 model year as is included in any ECU ignition upgrade. The more common squareback alternator had serviceable diodes while the older roundbacks pressed in diodes were not. Just evolution of the alternator.

You got it. I don't know how much safer it is, but theoretically anyway it is.

It appears I may have mine wired wrong . I had nothing connected to second field.

Which regulator do you have?

Assuming you have two isolated field terminals.
Regulator with the triangular connector plug:
1. Wire from an alternator field terminal to the regulator's bottom corner terminal. (traditionally green wire '72 -76 A body)
2. Wire from ignition to the other field terminal. Also connecting to the top terminal on the regulator (voltage sensing).

Regulator with connection on top and bottom, whether electronic or mechanical:
1. Wire from an alternator field terminal to ground.
2. Wire from voltage regulator to the alternator's other field terminal.

Electronic version sold by FBO

Standard VR128 is another electronic version that also controls the feed.
The wire to the field attaches to the stud. Ignition wire pushes into the connector with the red wire.
