I have a Chevy Duty wiring harness in my truck, '51 GMC 1/2 ton. While pulling the engine I forgot to make a drawing of the electrical hook up to the alternator! I know , I know... Anyway I have an extra wire I am not sure where it goes. I could use some help and I will send a pic to anyone who would be willing to help me out. Thanks!!

Do you have an alternator or generator? If it's the generator I can help you for sure. If its the alternator, its been awhile, but I can usually figure it out. Do you still have the pos. ground? Cecil........

If it's an alternator, check this out -- it may be a bit different than yours because I'm using terminal blocks on the firewall, but you'll get the idea:
