63 Galaxie generator wiring

[ToddK]

After doing some work on the 390 in my 63 Galaxie, I have fitted the generator back. But I forgot to mark which wire goes where. I know the big output wire goes to the terminal on the back. But I'm not sure of which wire goes to which of the 2 smaller terminals on top of the generator. One of the wires appears to be black and the other wire is either yellow or white. Can anyone help me out with getting these wires on the correct terminals?

Yellow/black stripe wire on the back of your Gen. should be (A) armature
White wire on top or side is (F) field
Black/red stripe on top or side is the ground (G)
You should have some letters stamped on the Gen. housing to help and your Regulator should have some markings   just make sure the wires where never swapped by mistake.
You will also have to polarize your Generator
Just make a jumper wire and touch the Battery terminal and Armature terminal momentarily (you will make a spark, np)   Hope that helps

Thanks for that, I now have it sorted out.
