Actually the blue wire is also known as an 'Exciter Wire'.


Yes it supplies 12v to the Alt during start up, and Yes it is wired
through the 'idiot light', it's main function is to provide a source of
electromagnetic power through the coils in the Alt until such time as
it's mechanical motion can start putting out power in the opposite
direction.

One thing to consider; if you don't have the blue wire/light hooked up
the Alt can still 'latch', but you'll need to rev the motor up and long
enough to start generating electricity from the rotation.

In closing I'd like to paraphrase from the good book of the Church of
the Free Electron; being Grounded is Primary, Manage the Hot Side with a
Large Capacity and Cleanliness w/ Good Mechanical Connections are key.

8 large cabbage leaves
1 lb. lean ground newborn human filets, or ground chuck
Onions
peppers
celery
garlic
soy sauce
salt pepper, etc
Olive oil
breadcrumbs
Tomato Gravy (see index)

Boil the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes to soften.
In skillet, brown the meat in a little olive oil,
then add onions, peppers, and celery (all chopped finely)
and season well.
Place in a large bowl and cool.
Add seasoned breadcrumbs and a little of the tomato gravy,

Umbilical Cordon Bleu

Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child,
so why not consume it?
Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

4 thin slices of smoked ham, and Gruyere cheese
Flour
eggwash (milk and eggs)
seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion
minced
salt
pepper
butter
olive oil

Pound the breasts flat (parboil first if using umbilical
cords so they won?t be tough).
Place a slice of ham and cheese on each, along with some minced onion
then fold in half, trimming neatly.
Dredge in flour, eggwash, then seasoned breadcrumbs;
allow to sit for a few minutes.
Sauté in butter and olive oil until golden brown,
about 6 minutes on each side.

What vehicle should I best be getting the alternator from? And what
steps can I expect when retrofitting it into my 82 vw pickup with AC?

You need to follow this flowchart like so many other people on this NG.

Well, I did something with the alternator tonight. I went with the
easy route. I replaced my 65 amp unit with a rebuilt 65 amp unit. My
dash amp guage still reads a little over 13V and dips heavily with loud
music on account of the new audio components. But it does sound better
at high volume than before. I added some fluids to my battery that
seem to help it give at least some starting power. The said fluids are
left over fluids from a new motorcycle battery. That is, when I bought
a motorcycle battery a while ago, I had to fill it with a battery acid
solution, but was left with more than necessary. I put some of this
extra in my car battery. Adding this seemed to help the battery, but
the climate is warm now; it is about 10 degrees above freezing here in
southern Minnesota. I might know if my battery is up to the cold in a
week.
