jack260z7722

I am assuming this adapter does the same job that all the diy jumper wires do in this website, https://woodworkerb.com/home/datsun-240z-rebuild/datsun-240z-alternator-upgrade/ I also read that if you have a voltmeter not an amp meter then you do not need the diode, so unless someone proves this false i will try this configuration tonight without the diode and let you know how it goes. thank you

hate to revive a very old post but i have searched the site and i cant find any other information about this style of alternator. I have a 260z 2+2 1977 and have just purchased an alternator with the same set up as this to replace the original dead one. everywhere online seems to say that you need to modify or bridge wires in the external regulator plug/harness. but it reads as though you have not done this? i am struggling to understand whether i need to modify the external regulator harness or not. and i also cannot find any information on whether the later 260z models have the same setup as all the 240s that have documented replacements. sorry if this has been covered already, please point me in the right direction if it has.
