Subject:Re: alternator replacement help

After some p-mail advice from a few listees, it seems the connections
are all there, but some have changed from screw terminals to push-
ons.  All are labeled (e.g. B+, D+, W, etc.), so it's just a matter
of mating screw terminals wiring to the new connectors.

IMHO, this sucks because the push-on terminals are rather flimsy, can
pop off easier, and are more susceptible to corrosion.  Oh well, I'll
probably get my old alternator rebuilt and keep it as a spare.

Thanks to all who responded.
