I would follow Jrichker's advice on his alt posts - he outlines how to wire it up. On the plug with the two stock charging wires, you tap into the stator wire (white/blk IIRC) and run that to the sole spade terminal connection on the 3G. That plug then gets tucked away (DONT leave the stock orange wires connected to the alt).

The new power cable you ran (4 AWG) connects to the stud with a nut. The smaller plug plugs and plays like it did before.

Dont forget the power ground upgrade that Joe so wisely recommends.

Good luck.
