Hello all,
I am installing a Podtronics unit in my '66 Atlas (positive earth) (2 wire alternator) and am confused (not a stretch) by the instructions.
Alternator has two wires coming out:
1. Green/Yellow (goes straight to #5 position of light switch, does not go to rectifier)
2. White/Green (goes to rectifier)
Rectifier has:
1. White/Green (from alternator),
2. Brown/White (which goes to Zener then to the Ammeter and #2 position of light switch)
3. Green/Black (goes straight to #7 position of light switch)
4. Red (goes to ground)
Podtronics instructions say to attach:
1. Pod yellow to Green/White from alternator
2. Pod yellow to Green/Yellow from alternator
3. Pod Red to ground
4. Pod Black to Brown/White
#1, 3 and 4 of the Pod instructions are straighforward. However, I am confused by #2, because by attaching the Pod yellow to the Green/Yellow from the alternator, I will be detaching the Green/Yellow wire that runs straight to the #5 position on the light switch.
Also, the Green/Black wire, that once went from the rectifier to the #7 switch position, will be attached to nothing as well.
Are these wires now superfluous? Am I missing something here? Just want to be sure before I fry something.
Thanks!
Sean
