alternator question

I am putting new tin on my mexican engine before it goes into my 74sb
and ran into a problem with understanding a bosch alternator I wanted
to use. It came out of my bus and only had a two wire hook up. The
nut next to the pulley is marked B+ and was connected directly to the +
on the battery. The blade connection is marked D+. The alternator is
about 10 years old but only used about 3000 miles. It has a sticker on
the top that says Bosch - new alternator with the number AL82N. Does
this alternator have a regulator built into it? How should I hook it
up in the 74?

yes it is internally regulated.....the D+ needs to be spliced into the
warning light on the dash...your 74 should be wired for an externally
regulated alternator...so you will need to check speedy's site for great
instructions...

have(wiring wise)....what you want to go to, is the B+ goes to
battery(usually a splicer under rear seat that sends a wire to the battery
and a wire to fuse box) and the D+ gets hooked to the warning light...
