First time wiring HELP (GM ALTERNATOR)
I am wiring my first street stock car. Can some tell me, what wires connect to a GM ALTERNATOR. You have the bigger prong on the back, then a connector on the top, with 2 wires.
I've got the push button switch, and the starter wired right, just lost on the alt. Can someone help....

take a 10 gauge braided wire from your battery to the stud on the back. and from the same stud to the two spad terminals on the top, and connect it to the terminal on the right. connect a 14 gauge wire form the terminal on the left and run it to a volt gauge and the other wire on the volt gauge to a fused " ignition on" power source.

Like rm96 said. Go to NAPA and get a part# 13-4011SW alternator. You just bolt it up and run a 10 gauge wire, either straight to the battery, or to the large stud post on your starter. Clean look & job is done.
