Retrofitting SI-Series Alternator,

At the Regulator:
1. White wire cut and tape (not needed)
2. Red wire cut and tape (not needed)
3. Cut the Blue and Brown wire and splice
them together.

At the Alternator:
1.The plug has two wires in it. The blue wire
is the one you spliced to Brown wire at
the regulator and nothing needs to be
done to it. The white wire however was cut
at the regulator and should be rewired to
the battery terminal on the alternator.

Hope this helps? I did it on my truck just recently. Went the extra mile and chased cut wires back through the harness to pull them. Removed the regulator and threw it away.
