how to wire an ALTERNATOR charging system on ANYTHING custom automotive wiring from scratch PART 2

car is a 1978 Datsun 280Z with an internally regulated 3 wire alternator

How does the voltage sensing work? How does the alternator not confuse its own 14 volt charging output with the voltage of the battery if they are electrically connected?

That is the best video I have ever watched explain how to wire a car. I'm trying to wire a Cadillac DTS I'm having problems with and you just explain what I've been looking for on YouTube for three months thank you so much brother I appreciate you

[Walknpeace]

Best explanation I’ve seen after watching 7 videos.

[bradyoung]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve spent weeks trying to figure it out and jumped on here and you explained it better then anyone else could have

[Mike-zbts]

Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Thanks man, you're saving me days of frustration.

I love the way you explain how this works. I've been wrapping my head around adding a second dedicated alternator to charge a battery bank.

I am so glad you explained the diode/resistor/charge indicator lamp. When I put a Delco 3 wire alternator on my old 1958 Ford 641 tractor, I had that same issue, I couldn't get the thing to shut off without choking the carb!
Wired in a charge indicating lamp on the dash, and boom, no more issues!

Oh my Gosh, thats it, thats it!!! I recently dragged home. A previous owner modified, 1979 MG Midget Spridget. I been plagued with; electrical wiring issues, throughout the car. After i got it running, the previous owner was unable to do. Problems arose; when I decided, the factory wiring harness would not be appropriate to use. Thus I began to do what was my first forte with working on cars, at thirteen. Yikes, headache after headache came a knocking for a visit. And was hungry. Became stumped as to why; new batteries would drain, alternator would put out a small trickle that did not charge system. And, major iggy issues to boot. MG’s weather UK or US versions have interesting electrical engineering methods, in the grounding department. Chris the option your shared and showed. Woke me up. The lights came on. Your vid here, dusted much collected on cranium data I knew well. Now i can go do the proper hook ups and have a charging system, ignition running and starting present return to five star status. Mahalo nui loa, for this Chris. Other I know will be stocked to here what i will share, with parallel disfunctions. Chee Hu ✌🏽🤙🏽✨

Perfect explanation. It was simple to understand and believe me I need simple!

[doncopple]

Great instruction! Very methodical approach

[satellite]

Those are pretty neat little cars I had one back in high school

[hippitydippity]

Have to agree with everyone here commenting, your explanation is spot on bro, I actually learned something here with the ability to replicate it. Cheers to you!

[vicstevens]

Keep it up dude easy instructions what everyone wants!

[jeffjeff-tlyi]

You are a Wizard!!! Very Good video and explanation... I Thank You Very Much!!! Nice Car also. !!!

[Knuckledragnation]

Alas a video simple enough in both explanation and drawing diagrams a neanderthal like myself can understand. No disrepect to all them high dig auto technicians in their fancy shops or those doctorates of electricity whatcha-ma-call-its out there and what not.

Thank you sir.
