THe brown wire @ the ext regulator is live with key on. That should be capped. The larger red wire is from the relay/splice for remote voltage sensing and also needs to be capped.
Any reason for a 1 wire? They are not as good as a 3 wire conversion.Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

If you are using a CSI alternator(the newer GM ones) only one of the wires needs to be hooked up other than the battery wire and the other wire can simply loop to batter post on alt.
Found my old alt from previous car at home I can take pics sometime this week maybe to illustrate.
