Alternator Wiring?
Just wanted to double check the wiring for my '88s alternator since I had to replace the plug. Anyone happen to have a close up pic of the wires? Ive already got the ones that go into the plug re-spliced so Im mainly concerned with the one on the back of the alternator-I had one wire from the nut going into a thicker power wire towards the fuel rails?

The batt is just a huge capacitor across the alt output that smooths out the full-wave DC signal from the alt.
The voltage at the alt, at the batt and on the dash should all read the same value.
