Body of Message:

Depends on which one you are using. Most are three wire. Large terminal on back goes straight to battery. In the two wire plug, the heavy wire goes to 12v switched while the thinner wire gets a diode and 12v switched. Use of a Hitachi alternator is preferred as it is a bolt in and has a sealed case for operating in dust/moisture. The Misubishi is a good choice as it bolts in and is small like the Hitachi. The GM is likely the cheapest but it is quite large, will need to be adapted to bolt up and is quite large and typically hangs out from underneath the hood.

Here is a pic of my Mitsubishi alternator.

Most folks do not notice it is there. It provides 14.5 volts and really bright headlights.
