Hello Everyone,
I am starting converting my 1964 Falcon to EFI.
I will be using an EFI harness from a 1990 Mustang 5.0.
The motor I have is complete with all accesories attached so I will be using the mustang's alternator.
I want a clean engine compartment so I want to get rid of the falcon's original external Voltage Regulator. I hav a wiring diagram for my falcon and I have a few questions that I would appreciate some assistance with. All in all it looks as if 6 wires (4 conections as two wires connect to the VR and then continue) are connected to the VR.
1) According to the diagram a yellow and black wire runs from the starter relay to the "B" terminal on the VR and then on to the fuse box and ignition switch. I assume this is my "Hot at all times wire for the ignition switch as it also connects to the ciggarette lighter"
If I remove the voltage regulator where do these wires connect to in regards to the alternator wiring?
2) According to the diagram there is a white wire that runs from what would be the original falcon generator to the "F" Terminal of the VR. This wire ends at the VR. What does this wire do and what does the "F" stand for?
3) According to the diagram a yellow and black wire runs from what would be the generator to the "A" terminal on the VR and then on to the Generator indicator lamp. I assume this would trigger the light if the original generator failed. How do I connect this to the mustangs alternator? Do I connect the wire together where it joins the VR and then hook up the other end (the generator end) to the alternator harness? If so to what wire?
4) Finally, according to the diagram a red and black wire runs from what would be the generator and runs to the VR, (Cutoff relay?) What does this do and how do I hook this up to my mustang wiring.
Thank you for your answers.
