[SEL] voltage regulator (kinda related)

[ArthurDeana Southwell]

Because it's a starter-generator, it will polarize itself when you "crank" 
it.

Delco systems ... strike a quick arc between Bat. terminal and Arm.(Gen) 
terminal.

That, in effect, is what you are doing when you apply battery power to the 
starter-generator to "crank" the engine "over".

If battery ignition, check the terminal marking + or - of the wire from the 
coil to the points. That sign is ground.
