You can get the schematic for an old Camaro pretty easy
I probably have one in a old Motor service manual
That alternator wiring is as simple as they come
I will try to post the wiring diagram later if I can find my books after moving
The alternator hooks to the system with just one power wire, my 69 had a circuit breaker block where the wire was two piece for overload protection
The other 2 wires are the field wire to excite the field and a sense wire to tell the thing when to charge
Alternator light is in there somewhere, not sure where without looking at my 68 or a diagram
I'll try to post one
Your cars problem is what? Battery constantly dead and no alternator
output?
No it was fine. I disassembled it without taking a picture first. The original plan was to replace the radiator and core support. This regulator was attached to the core support.
Now I can't remember how it was before I took it apart.
I'll try to take a photo of my 68 's voltage regulator later today and post it
It just bolts to the drivers side of the radiator support
Those wires will only let it move a few inches away from where it's supposed to be
Man, I sure stand corrected
That IS the horn relay on yours
Here's a few pictures of my 68
I have not owned this car for long, and just noticed they hacked up the wiring and it has a newer alternator that needs no regulator
That is indeed your horn relay. The buss bar at the bottom of the relay is solid, thus the terminals from the wires can be landed on either screw. The stock wiring for a 68 is:
#10 red wire from the terminal block behind the battery to the horn relay. Feeds the horn relay. There is a splice of two other #10 red wires to this #10 wire to feed the alternator and voltage regulator. The schematic does not show them connected to the horn relay, but rather spliced in to the feed from the battery.
#10 red wire with a black fuse link terminates at the horn relay buss bar and feeds the fuse block thru the connector for interior lighting, ignition, and accessories.
#20 pink wire with black stripe (I think) terminates at the horn relay buss bar and feeds the fuse block thru the connector.
#14 black with white stripe with a 20ga fuse link also terminates at the horn relay buss bar and feeds the fuse block thru the connector.
The fuse links are very important as they will open (fail) like a fuse if you develop and overload (short) in the wiring.
Good Luck,
Ron
PS: The #14 dark green wire plugs in to the horn relay and goes to the horns. The #14 black wire also plugs in and goes thru the fuse block connector to the horn button on the steering wheel. I have extra wiring as I added and AMP gauge in the circuit. The voltage regulator is above the horn relay and is used for the original 10DN alternator.
