To Bonneville Joe: They will work with the following exception: The wire on term #1 (idiot light) does two things. First, it "excites" the alternator, meaning that it provides some field current so that once it starts spinning, the alternator starts up and begins to charge. Secondly, it turns the idiot light on and off. Without the term #1 wire, the alternator will "self excite" but only by revving up the engine momentarily. The residual magnetism inside will get it going at higher rpm.
Regards, George
