Default Do I have a single wire setup?
Is this a one wire alternator setup?








Also, what is this?





Thank you!

It is!? Looks different than the other ones to me for some reason. is that the stock location? Lower driver front apron.


So If I still have a regulator, that must mean I have a stock alternator system,no?

Yeah you have a stock system. It was hard to see on my phone, so I didn't answer right away. Now that I am at my computer I can tell.

While running use a voltage meter and see how many volts the battery is putting out. It should be like 13-14 if working, around 12 if its not, if I remember right.
