"Polarizing MGA & MGB Generators"

Whenever you install a new generator, it must be polarized positive or negative ground to match the car's wiring. To do this, use the following procedure.

1. Connect a length of 14-Gauge (or similar) wire to the 'A' terminal of the Control Box (voltage regulator).

2. Quickly swipe the opposite end of the wire two or three times across the 'F' terminal on the back of the generator. The 'F' terminal is the smaller of the two. There should be a small spark.

DO NOT CONNECT THE WIRE TO THE GENERATOR or leave it in contact with the generator for more than a split second. Avoid touching the wire to anything else.

3. Enjoy your car.
