Hi,
I have a 69 Mustang Coupe with a 302 engine. I got extra parts from different cars when I bought it and I'm not sure how this should be hooked up. I have 3 wires coming off the alt. 1st is a thick black wire that comes off the alt and goes to the front headlight harness and then there's an orange one that I think goes to the field on the box on the firewall. And another wire-white or yellow, goes from the alt and it winds in through the wire harness through a rubber wire holder and goes to a ground. It doesn't connect into the harness. When I hooked them up and fired the engine the wire that goes to ground totally melted and burned off. Does anyone have pics of their wiring or can telll me how the wires are supposed to be hooked up? I have no tach on the dash. Is it possible that the wire that burned wasn't supposed to go to ground? And maybe was supposed to be for tach?
Thank you for your help!
