I am just wondering if I need to attach the plug on the back of the alternator on my LT1 that I am putting in an old Camaro. There is 2 small brown wires. Thanks.

I believe one of the wires goes to your factory LT1 volt gauge, the other is a 12V IGN source to excite the regulator with ignition on.

I am still confused regarding the "F" and "L" small brown wires on my CS144 alternator. My AAW wiring kit for my 68 Camaro has a brown wire for the alternator. My factory manual for the 94 LT1 CS144 that I am putting in the camaro states the following:
When the ignition switch is turned to "RUN", battery voltage is supplied from fuse 8 to the generator at terminal "F", turning on the regulator. If for any reason terminal "F" did not supply any current to the connection inside the generator, the regulator could still turn on because curcuit "L" would function as a backup source for "TURN ON" current.
Am I reading too much into this? Do I need both "F" and "L" wires hooked up? Does the brown alternator wire on the AAW kit feed into F or L?
