Recently fitted a new generator and regulator on to my GT6.
Generator is a Lucas C40L.
Reading to polarize the generator, but getting conflicting reports from various sources about which terminal I should be polarizing on - Armature or Field.
Car is wired for negative earth.
Question is do I polarize between the Battery and the Armature or Battery and the Field?
One source said it depends on whether the generator is internally or externally grounded. I believe it is internally grounded, but not 100 % sure.
This has been a 2 month headache with the generator and trying to get it right.
Thanks
