Ok....No plastic plug on the alternator. There is about a #10 stud on the back of the alternator. I have a #4 or #6 (can't remember) wire running from it to the starter post that the positive battery lead goes to.

The engine is grounded to the frame in two places with big fat honkin braided straps.

So I need to find where to ground this sucker and ground it to the engine.

The stupid thing was working a couple weeks ago....started the engine up, took it down the road a couple times and brought it back in the garage....stuck a battery charger on it just to make sure (I have only had the alternator hooked up for a couple weeks) and the charger showed 100% charge. So I figured the alternator was doing its job.
