i have a 68 and i dont have that either . all i have is a horn relay which everyone has. the plug in the diagram looks similar but i dont think thats what they are talking about.

look at this one it is a better wiring diagram and it is probably closer to what we have in our truck. yes the b wire should be hot all the time. maybe that wire is bad?

OK as far as i can tell everything is right!! I believe the wire 904 would be the warnign light in the cluster, there is no wire here on my truck (i too have the gauges)
So...
I am seriously thinking about switching to a 1 wire gm alternator, as far as i can tell all id really need to do is supply power to 1 maybe 2 wires that go to the ignition switch then run the one wire off the back of the alternator to the battery!!!
Can anyone veryify that this is what i need to do?

I have a stock alt. wiring harness off my 68 that you can just plug in as I went to the 3G alt.I'll let you have it for $10.00 plus shipping.I'd hate to see you put GM crap on a nice Ford.

i dotn think my problem is in the wiring. i really dont know where it is and i like the idea of one wire and it is about the same money and it will most likly fix the problem but thanks for the offer!!!!

do you have an ammeter in the dash, or an idiot light? If you have a warning light, and the light fails...no charge

if you need a diagram, let me know

i Have the gauge and it reads right above normal all the time even when the truck died because the battery had zero juice it held in the center. i also have a after market volt gauge which is wat i use more often to tell what is happening with my electrical system.
