Still not clear. The positive and ground are correct. The wires from the inside of the alternator are correct. They are shown on the diagram but on my alternator they are covered with a sealant. Still no indication of where the loose wire goes, shown in my photo. Open for advice. Thx

The loose wire should be 2A, dig all the silicone out (carefully) and look for the stud.
It MIGHT be possible that an alt. for a different application did not come with the AC tap but that is just a guess, should run and gen without it.

My alternator is putting out 24v and not 26-28v. Is that an issue? Where can I get it rebuilt?

Do you have 24v going to wire 568 with the truck in run.

Yes. 568 shows 24v. Thank you for replying. Guys smarter than me said it should be more.

Until the gen starts working it can be no higher than battery voltage, did you test it with the gen connected? (to wire 56
use a sharp meter lead and pierce the jacket, you always want to test voltage with the circuit complete, otherwise the voltage and be there when disconnected but go away when the load is attached.Basically all you need on that 60A is battery voltage at the output terminal, battery voltage at wire 568 and it be turning otherwise the gen is defective.

I had the motor on, kept the plug together but moved the rubber jacket. Showed 24. Ok? Again, thank you for your time and knowledge.
