This document is a small illustrated diagram showing alternator "clocking", the rotational orientation of an alternator's rear housing relative to its mounting. Three rear-view drawings of the same alternator are shown side by side, each with the regulator terminal (electrical connector) rotated to a different position: 3:00 position, 7:00 position, and 11:00 position (described like clock-face positions). The leftmost drawing includes two callout labels: "Regulator Terminal," pointing to the connector on the rear of the alternator, and "Mounting Spool," pointing to the mounting boss/ear at the lower left of the case. The diagram lets a reader identify which clocking orientation their alternator has (or needs) by comparing the location of the regulator terminal against the three illustrated positions. This is useful when ordering a replacement alternator or re-clocking a rebuilt unit so the connector and mounting spool line up correctly with the vehicle's bracket and wiring harness. The image contains no part numbers, year/model applicability, torque specs, or written procedure text, only the three position illustrations and the two component callouts. It was uploaded to a 1990 Ford Bronco gallery as a service/reference aid, though the diagram itself states no vehicle applicability.

Frequently asked questions

What alternator clocking positions are shown in this diagram?
Three positions are illustrated: 3:00 position, 7:00 position, and 11:00 position, based on where the regulator terminal sits on the rear of the alternator.
How do I identify my alternator's clock position?
Compare the location of the regulator terminal on the back of your alternator to the three drawings; the position (3:00, 7:00, or 11:00) corresponds to a clock-face location relative to the mounting spool.
What parts of the alternator are labeled in the diagram?
Two callouts are labeled: the Regulator Terminal (the connector on the rear of the alternator) and the Mounting Spool (the mounting boss on the lower left of the case).
Does this document list part numbers or vehicle years?
No. The diagram contains only the three position illustrations and the labels; no part numbers, years, or model applicability are shown.
