lazyj,

Yes......I guess. Your alternator has three wires coming from it. A very large charge wire from the big BATT lug. This is the one that goes to the old generator BATT wire OR under the dash to the negative side of the ammeter. The smaller red wire doesn't have to go that far. It can get stuck on that big BATT lug on the alternator.

The brown wire doesn't HAVE to go to the ignition switch, but it can. If you install a diode in that line you can stick it on the key side of the coil (+) and save yourself some crawling under the dash.
