I am planning to use an external solid-state Ford regulator and Ford
automotive 60 amp 1G alternator in my homebuild project. I would like
to use Aeroelectric's OV protection module in my wiring circuit, but
wonder if my alternator is compatible with the module wiring as shown
on the Aeroelectric website. Specifically, no Stator connection is
shown on the diagram alternator. Could it be that the way the
regulator and alternator is wired, using the OV module, the Ford 1G
alternator Stator connection is left unwired?

The stator terminal was used on the old electro-mechanical
voltage regulators . . .

. . . .to sense when the alternator was actually
being rotated by the engine. This prevented leaving the
field switch ON after shutdown and draining the battery
(in certain automotive applications . . . this was never
a risk to aircraft so that terminal is not used except for
some early and rather crude attempts to sense low voltage
at that terminal.
So, wire per figure Z-11 and ignore the stator terminal.
