[Ford-ferguson] 1952 TO30 alternator

[Mike Sloane]

It depends on the alternator. Even a "one wire" alternator conversion
needs to be spun up fairly fast to begin charging. For the GM (most
popular for conversion) alternator with three terminals, you need a
couple more wires to start them charging. If you can tell us how many 
terminals there are on the back of the alternator, we can provide some 
more help with wiring.
