9. Most pre-1974 GM vehicles equipped with Delcotron alternators with external regulator and most Ford vehicles with

Autolite / Motorcraft alternators with external regulator will require isolation diode installation. The isolation diode

prevents current from the regulator flowing back to the ignition power relay when the key is turned off.

10. Locate the terminal on voltage regulator that is connected to charge indicator light. This is terminal I on most Ford

regulators and terminal 4 on most GM regulators. A top view of the regulator is shown in diagram below to help with

terminal identification. Break the wire going to this terminal and solder the diode to the wire ends. Observe diode

polarity indicated by a "band" on the diode. Wrap diode and wires with electrical tape. Make sure diode or bare wires

cannot touch any metal surface.

11. Verify proper operation of charging circuit and ignition system. If charge indicator light , does not light up when key

is turned on before engine is started, diode was probably installed backwards.
