Does anybody have one of the 1976 fleet vehicles with heavy duty charging? I have questions about the wiring schematics. Mine doesn't have a connector in the bulkhead. All the wires run through the firewall in a rubber boot then split off. There is a large connector under the dash with a screw in the middle for the majority of the wires. (I did inspect it and all the connections are clean without evidence of heat damage) The alternator wire appears to be 6 or 8ga and runs directly to the fusible link then to the battery. I also have the field and load relay which has 2 large wires for source and load and 2 small wires for the coil side. Additionally there is an orange box on the firewall that I don't see on the schematics. It looks like a voltage regulator with a different plug. It has 3 wires, blue, brown and grey. Blue and brown go to the field and load relay not sure where the grey wire goes. Anyone seen or worked on one like this? I'm planning an auxiliary fuse and relay box for an electric cooling fan, the headlights, ignition, voltage regulator, auxiliary charging port and stereo.
For reference it is a 4 door 1976 Dodge Aspen, 318, 4 speed. Custom trim level.
