Please help w/ alternator install

I purchased an 135 amp alternator from altstart & as promised it showed up yesterday. The only problem was there was no wiring instructions & the sales snake lied about not having to do any modifications to the car to install it. ( the bracket has to be filled down! ) Having known that, I would have attempted the job at my shop rather than the driveway. Anyway, my question is the wiring... I assume the two 8 ga wires go to the ring terminal. There is a d shaped molex that appears to just snap into place on the new alt. Does anyone know what I do with the wht/blk wire coming off the new alt? It looks like it just connects to the wht/blk coming off the d molex but I want to make sure before connecting it. Thanks....

Hi, I have the alterstart 150 amp. If I were you I would run a heavy gage wire from the conection on the alt to the battery. Dont use the 2 blk orange wires..They actually connect to one wire about 12 inches lower. The white wire connects to the small wire thats in the plug with the 2 blk orange wires. Just cut the wire loose from the plug and connect it to the new white blk wire. I really would consider running a new wire from the lug on back of the alt to the battery or solenoid. The blk orange wires are not rated for the higher amp alts.

Thanks.... I think I will change out the power wire to at least an 8 ga.
