I dont really understand what you're saying. I did look at the instructions on their site but they don't seem to mention clocking or show a pic of the cable connection. Because it appears you have a black alternator, there might be a boss for a ground strap. It would probably be on the bottom (for aesthetics).

If you think one stud is for a ground strap, you can check continuity between it and the alternator body. Have the alternator disconnected from the power connections before you check.

Have you emailed Powermaster?
