Alright I'm fixing to get my car back from paint and body. First thing I'm doing is wiring up my 3G alternator.

Here's how Jrich shows to do it

But on vehicles that came factory with a 3G alternator, it's wired like this

The little white plug just comes straight off the plug that goes in to the voltage regulator. My question is, can I run the wire just like in the second picture or will doing this cause any issues?

Either way is fine. The second picture is just a little cleaner install. On the 2G the stator wire jumped from the rectangular plug to the D-shaped plug. Most of the wire was just wrapped up in the harness.
