Whats up guys, I just got this 100 amp alternator, and its a one wire alternator. The alternator though came with no instructions on how to install it, I was just wondering if any of you electrical gurus could help me out. on how to convert a two wire alt. to a one wire alt.

Thanks guys
 
i know its only one wire that supposed to go to the battery, but what color(s) is the positive power cable that is on the current connections that connect to the alt.?

Are they the two orange and black wires?
 
I just hooked the one wire up to the battery and did away with the rest of my wiring. Works perfectly... though non-self exciting alternators suck in stop go traffic :)
