new alternator is a one wire hook up.was not sure of old one.

will get larger gage wire.Was wrong about altanator.Has one hot hook up than one ground hook up and one wire that goes to the external reg on the fire wall.The wire that goes to the reg is the one not sure what to do with.Thanks for all the input.

running a 10 gage wire from alternator to hot side of battery.The oem wire (black) goes to amp meter on dash,but there are wires to the external regulator. So the wires from the external reg go to any of the dash power or any other power source?
