Hi all,
I’m getting really close to running the overhauled engine on the 8 and have an issue on the alternator connection. The airplane does not have the plug for the back of the alternator, just a wire with a blade connection. The inside of the alternator has three blades it could go on. Does anyone have info on which blade in the alternator is the correct one? I should be able to order the plug from Vans but would like to run the engine before then. Full disclosure, I’m the third owner not the builder. Haven’t figured out how to attach a pic but the three blades in the alternator go top one horizontal, then two vertical ones below parallel to each other.
