I am new to these forums so my apologies if this tread should be in the wagoneer section, it seemed correct at the time.
To begin with I have a relatively newly purchased 1974 jeep wagoneer. It has the amc 360 engine, just had the turbomatic 400 rebuilt, and I'm having a weird issue with my alternator. I took my rig to my local autoparts shop to have the charging system tested. The test read that I have a bad regulator. I believe the regulator is on the firewall, its not plugged into anything. The alternator itself has a positive and negative wire cming off but I can not find the leads for either the firewall mounted regulator, or even the internall regulator on the alternator.

Any suggestions or possible help, pics, etc. Is greatly appreciated.
 

Thanks for all the help,

So it would seem that the regulaor is going bad BUT the alternator is wired to be two wire, which is cool with me. Sooo... I'm just going to have it rewound at about $80 and all should be well.
