ok so wiring an alternator from scratch, a cs130 standard gm alt. all the write ups ive found online say S terminal wires to battery post on the back of the alt. and the L terminal connects to 12v keyed power with a charge lite or resistor in the middle.

 

a couple of the write ups say 3-4 antidisestablishmentarianism bulb

(http://www.ih8mud.com/tech/cs130.php)

 

the delco site says nothing of bulb wattage but states 35-500ohm resistor

(fig.11 http://www.alternatorparts.com/cs130_sbpage6.htm)

 

by my math a 3wat 12v bulb would have 48ohms, 4wat 12v bulb would have 36ohms, but i can't find a 3 or 4wat bulb suitable for the application. i can find 1 and 2wat bulbs, 144 and 72ohms, is there any reason one of these wouldnt work? does my math work for what I'm doing?

 

thanks for the help, terence
