I am currently wiring up an alternator from a hq holden onto my hj. The hq alternator has a D+ terminal and a B+ terminal and another plug with two terminals one horizontal and one vertical. I have the B+ connected to the battery where does my other wire plug onto as the hj loom only has one spade terminal for the charge light.

From memory I think alternators have an external regulator on the HQ's - maybe the HJ doesn't have the regulator!

You are gonna need a external regulator, but with the age of them thay are more trouble than they are worth, reco your HJ one mate, you wont regret it.
In all of my HQs (5 to be precise) I have changed them to the later model alty and got rid of the regulator

get one from a VH/VK 202 commodore and while your at it get the electronic dissy will be the best $150 you will ever spend, no more points to adjust.

oh yeah dont know much about the holdens but good to know about the vk alt. I fitted a external reg and i dont have a hj alt anyway. Know my question is does the charge light run to the spare d+ or the same one as the reg!
