F15a cab 11 generator
 

Hi all, I am working on the electrical system and the generator I have has only 1 terminal. Would this be the correct generator or were they 2 terminal originally ? All my wiring diagrams show 2 terminals . If I were to stay with this generator would I just use a cut-out rather than a voltage reg. ? Thanks,Dave
By the way the single terminal is stamped "field"

Maybe just maybe......
 

.... you have a GM alternator?????

No joke they now make and sell fake looking early flaty Ford generators with the fully functioning guts of an alternator...$$$$

haha I wish!

Hi Dave,

This post on the Ford Barn may help.

Also in Ron Bishop's "Rebuilding the Famous Ford Flathead" if you have a copy there is a small section on the voltage regulation on the different types of Ford generators. Part number list in the book may help identify your generator.

Cheers,
