How do you wire a Dodge alternator?
On a dodge alternator the two small wires go to the voltage regulator . It doesn't matter which wire goes where, but the red or blue wire needs 12 volts when the key is on. The green wire goes directly to the regulator from the alternator. The large wire goes to the battery and it is important that you don't undersize this wire. The other wire is a ground wire and can be grounded to the block or not used as the case is grounded by the bolts that hold it on.

Wiring a one wire alternator?
Wiring a one-wire alternator is straightforward: connect the alternator's output terminal directly to the positive battery terminal. The alternator is designed to self-excite, meaning it doesn't require a separate ignition or voltage sensing wire. Ensure the ground is solid, and you may need to connect a wire from the alternator case to the vehicle's chassis for proper grounding. Always check the alternator's specifications and ensure the battery is compatible.
