   Automotive alternator windings & rectifi

   has photos of an alternator with 4 connections for windings (each of 3 phases   
   + common), and the 8 diode rectifier. But wiring diagrams show only 3   
   connections and 6 diodes.   
      
   Where does the common winding terminal connect (there is a connection on the   
   rectifier plate)? Where do the other 2 diodes connect?   
      
   I handled one of these disassembled units but didn't have time to ohm out the   
   connections.   
      
   Thanks.
