[AMC-list] Jeep CJ-5 alternator revisited.

[Russell Neyhart <rtneyhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I am going to be having a look at my father-in-law's 1975 Jeep CJ-5 
(along with the 2001 Chevrolet S10 and 1996 Ford F-150) this Saturday.  
Does anyone have any advice, pictures, TSM scans, etc. that would give 
me a better idea of where everything goes electrically?  The schematic I 
downloaded from Autozone's Web site show three connections: one ground, 
one labeled "BLK/TR" with a resistor in the circuit going to the fuse 
block, and one red one that has two legs, one to the starter solenoid 
and ignition coil and the other looping around to the alternator again.  
The vehicle has a plastic connector with a black/white wire going into 
the harness and a red wire with a bare end coming from it, and a red 
wire (of the same gauge as the connector wire) coming from the harness 
with a bare end.  The alternator has a provision for the plastic plug 
and a connector that is a stud with a nut on it.  He claims to have 
connected the red wires together and burned up a rebuilt alternator.  
Thanks...

Regards,

Russ (from Pa.)
