Where and what, need a 2 groove pulley, 2 field wire, Alternator for 69-1/2 Bee, trying to avoid chrome, GM or anything NOT OEM looking.. For some reason, new Year One harness BLUE wire wanted to melt with this one from E Bay.. Only 11.4 V output..

I have to disagree, swapping the field wires should have no effect, if is does there is something going on inside the alternator. Put it this way, if the field connections had to be a specific way Ma Mopar would have labeled them or made a connector that only allowed them to be connected in one way.
I DO beileive this is most likely the prob.. I can hook my DVOM up to BATT post on a (small fire) burnt one, and on DC Volts, get 0.034, on this new or reman one? 0.00000The two field wires must be on the correct field. They can be reversed but if you do you will melt the wire or take out the alternator. Ask me how I know.
Yep, had it tested, FAIL on both tests.. Bought a newer Reman one...Uugh (built in CHINA?!)Like I said WM, put an OHM meter from case to field connection tab. If you get ZERO ohms then the connection tab is grounded to the case. If you actually get resistance then that tab is fine. I'm thinking you ordered a '69 and the second tab (that shouldn't be generally used on a '69) is grounded to case.

So someone forgot the insulators in your first picture as that lug is grounded to the case and should be isolated for your two field wire circuit. Still not sure why you have a two field alternator on a '69.. unless the 1/2 were granted the upcoming '70 duals.
Yeah, I was checking continuity here & there, looking for a possibe short? Noticed that the BLUE spade tab DID have continuity.. (0 resistance)... The cases on 2 vastly different alternators DO have same casting numbers & configuration, except for the O'reiley one with the GROUND post at the top...

..So this Lug with 000.1 ohm is supposed to be basically NOT used? Makes sense, since that's the one that began to melt the blue wire, this "Other Wire" IS HOT.So someone forgot the insulators in your first picture as that lug is grounded to the case and should be isolated for your two field wire circuit.

1970 and up 2 before computerized voltage regulation hope this helpsWhere and what, need a 2 groove pulley, 2 field wire, Alternator for 69-1/2 Bee, trying to avoid chrome, GM or anything NOT OEM looking..
