Take the small red wire from the external voltage regulator and install it on terminal #2 on the new alternator.

Take the small brown wire and install it on terminal #1.
Put the big red wire back on the new alternator and your done.

Doing this now, I stripped the wiring harness and extended the small brown wire. I'm ready to extend the small red wire but it's not exactly small -- it's 12 ga. There is no "small red wire" on the old regulator, just that 12 ga red wire. I guess that's OK and I can just splice a 16 ga red wire from it to the #2 terminal.


Edit: All wiring is now completed except for placing terminal ends and lug which I will do tomorrow after bolting in the new alternator. Very glad to see light at the end of the tunnel. Keepin my fingers crossed that everything works as it should. Can't thank y'all enough for the help & encouragement.
