Every diagram we find has different colors than we do! The alt light is stuck on (new alternator, tested before install), and we are trying to figure out if we just did a stupid thing like put the wires in the wrong places. :rolleyes: The two of main concern are a yellow/blue and what appears to be a solid yellow. Can anyone with a 73 see which color wires are going to which terminals on their alternator?

This is what mine looks like. It's not pretty and no guarantees to its accuracy as the connectors are obviously not OEM.

Same color wires at least, but ours is all on the back of the alternator. Thanks a bundle for the pic, I really appreciate it!

We resolved it about 10 minutes ago after getting home from helping a friend move-bad ground wire (not very visible, but found on closer inspection).
