Alternator...opened up a mess...love the PO

[JimmyCriswell]

I need some help gentlemen. 68 C10 3 gauge dash. I may have to take some picture to get good feedback, but I will start with a description.

The box (external regulator?) around the drivers headlight on my truck has nothing wired to it.
I have an SI alternator in it right now...plug is 2 prong -- style. At this point, I would like to wire the alternator in the truck up correctly to see if it works. Do I need to purchase any type of harness since nothing is plugged into what I believe to be the external regulator.
I really do have to send some pictures of how it is done. All electrical tape....corrosion is unreal and the fuse box seems to be toast around many of the connectors.

1. i don't have the money for a brand new wiring assembly right now (any thoughts on this as none of the wires will come out of the factory fuse box in the motor compartment?

2. How to wire the alternator up properly since there is no external regulator and the current wiring has had it. What wire gauges do I need for each wire.

Good thing I really enjoy working on the truck!

The FAQ for alternator alternator wiring has been taken down as all of the great links I click on go directly to the down site under Electrical, and alternator FAQ.
