After installing the alternator, I unpluged and removed the factory voltage regulator along with the sub wiring harness from the back of the alternator to the fenderwell.

With a test light, I located the "ignition on" hot lead in the voltage regulator wiring plug that was still connected to the trucks wiring harness and connected it to the ignition terminal of the GM alternator.

Since I was installing a high output alternator, I chose to install a new 8 guage lead from the postive terminal of the alt in front of the raidator and then over to the positive post of the battery.
