+ | Here’s three different GM alternators, on the left is the '''10DN''' which uses an external regulator. In the center is the internally regulated 10SI (Systems Integrated) used from the later ’70s. The serrated end that makes it easy to spot. On the right is the CS130. | ||

+ | The connector is usually labeled PLFS or PLIS. The only wire used is the '''L''' position, it's connected to the dash light. Do not connect this to a 12 V source, as that will damage it. If a dash light isn't used, install a 50 to 80 ohm, 5 watt resistor in series to a ''switched'' power source. On connectors without any markings as to which wire/terminal is which, use the ''third position counted from the large end of the connector'' for the dash light or resistor. | ||
