Hey Mike,
Yes, two connections. Two 1/4 inch Lucar( = spade) terminals or two screw terminals etc
It doesn't matter which way around you wire it.
All the Best,
Rod

Peter & Mike: No, the lamp is not part of the high-current circuit. It illuminates in response to the difference in voltage between the car power supply network downstream of the voltage regulator and the output voltage of the generator upstream of the voltage regulator(i.e. B+ vs Vgen in modern ter...

Haha, yep can relate. Might I suggest you start under the bonnet and make sure there are actually two wires on the 'D' terminal of the regulator first? Then it should be reasonably easy to single out which one heads through the firewall and gently push-pull on that one with an observer inside the ca...

Late edit: Forgot to say, if you're running an OE constant-current 3rd brush system, along with an 'IG' terminal, you should find a handy 'D' terminal on the block on the back of the ignition/lighting/charging control switch which might make it easier ('D' will already have one wire on it).

'D' terminal on Control Box, Mike. The light is intended (amongst other things) to indicate the voltage difference between generator output voltage and the system voltage downstream of the voltage regulator. Any two-pole warning light assembly will do if you're not worried about originality. the ext...

Hi Mike, I'm assuming you're still running the OE Lucas #318522 warning lamp with the 2.5V C252A 'flashlamp' globe? If you are, the globe just sits there and is retained against the spring by the red lens (there might have once been a fibre tab around the globe to extract it). Edit: or WL3 warning l...

You're welcome! If you use your favourite Search Engine, there are a number of on-line sites advertising pistons, either new or NOS. You can also have new ones made to sample if you have to go that way. I would suggest talking to the people that are going to rebore your block before choosing an over...

Nominal standard bore is 63,5 mm /2.50 inch so your block appears to be rebored to +1mm/+0.040 inches oversize already. I believe the Austin official maximum allowable oversize was 1/16inch/0.0625 inch/1,5mm. The A10 guys on here will have their own suggestions based on real-world experience, but my...

Andrew, adding to what Ivor has suggested, I would also add sticking valve(s). However, before you get too involved I would recommend a short stint of Automotive Diagnostics 101 and see if you can isolate the faulty system to mechanical/fuel/or ignition , especially now you appear to imply you have ...

Interesting question, for instance some models are named after rivers, some after (horse) racing tracks and some after UK Counties. Obviously the number/number ones are the fiscal horsepower rating (much later the actual horsepower)and number of cylinders. I semi-recall reading somewhere the logic b...
