Swapping 22r alternator to an internally regulated one
Hey everyone this is my first time posting on here, maybe I’m just slow but I can’t find anything super concrete for this swap. I have a 1982 pickup 22r, wanting to swap the alternator to that 1996 Jaguar XJ6 for the price and bolt in deal with it. The problem I’m trying to figure out is bypassing or deleting the external regulator. I’m most confused with the fact 6 wires go into it, trying to figure which wires are what with how dirty it is colors aren’t easily seen, and what do I splice straight into alternator plug. Once found I believe the main output and sense wire go straight to battery, then the L and ignition wire I’m not sure how to find where they come from or if there is anything I do special with them. Just finding the wires and what to do with them is the struggle, bare with me I’m as new as it gets with electrical stuff. Thanks again yall.

Since you are new to Yotatech I'll be the first one to tell you, it always pays to do a search within the site to find things. Like 'toyota pickup jaguar alternator swap'. Found it.
