Piece of cake! You'll you pig tail plug from CS-130, 144 alternator (source it along with JY alternator), need two crimp male tabs, 3x 470 Ohm 1 Watt resistors (metal film preferred), heat shrink tubing and some multi-strand 14 AWG wire. The L terminal from CS-130/144 requires the three resistors to be connected in parallel (net resistance 156 Ohm). This required to prevent damage to field excitation circuits inside the alternator. The S terminal is connected to main DC bus - battery block.


10/12-SI CS-130/144
- 1 - - L - Instrument cluster warning light
- 2 - - S - Remote Sense
- BAT - - BAT - Alternator output - use 8 AWG to lower voltage drop

Here is a good write-up
