Go to an auto parts house that can check alternators--take the Geo alt with
you. Tell them to check it and then watch how they hook it up. If you know
what type of Geo it came off of, the person checking will look up the wiring
diagram to hook it up. Plus you get it tested to make sure that it's working
correctly. It should be pretty easy to see the wiring when he does it. You
might even write it down--offer the explanation that maybe the vehicle is
wired wrong if you feel compelled to offer one. For what it's worth, most
internally regulated alternators only use 2 wires--one from the switch that
"excites" the alt, and the cable to the battery, (sometimes 3 wires--and
that's the one that depends--like to the idiot light or fuse box--someplace
where it can "sense" current usage). It should be pretty easy to wire.
Another option is to visit your local library--they should have shop manuals
for Geos or can get one. Trace the path of the alt wiring--it only goes in 2
or 3 places. If you want, mail me the particular alt info and I'll look into
it. I've never done it on a Loop, but I've switched a number on cars over
the years.

The Guzzi you see on the map in Columbus, GA is going to stay there if |
| don't get some help connecting this alternator. I've seen photos on this list of this conversion so I know at least some of you know what has to be done to hook it up electricaly. Please help a fellow Looper. I will be the one not making the rallys until I can get this sorted out. I have searched on the net for an electrical diagram for this alternator and can find nothing there are no marking for the electrical connections in the plug, this alternator was very expensive and I bought it with the idea that a few of the list members had done this before and would be willing to share the knowedge. I know that it takes a while to get info and type a reply and don't expect an immediate answer just tell me that someone is willing to help when they get the time.
