Ok went and looked. My red 10 gauge wire is hooked to the positive on the alternator. The smaller red wire 14 gauge is also hooked to the positive on the alternator and is in position one on the plug. The black wire that I have is alos a 14 gauge in the position two on the plug and is wired to the factory dark blue wire going to alt. Then I have a factory ground wire that is wired to the case of the alt. I have also convetered to a internal reg and hei. Hope this helps. The brown wire? Is it in the facory harness? I beleive that one went to the external reg and is no longer used. I used to have a wiring diagram but it was on my other compter and it crashed and this new one has windows vista on it and my old digi camera won't work with it or I would take a pic.

the brown, red and black wire comes out of the plug for the alt. and dont know were the brown and black wire are supposed to go i have the red wire that comes out of the plug hooked up to the field wire from the old alt. and the red wire for the batt. on the back of the alt. is hooked up how it was on the old alt.

Is it charging ,but not showing on the ammeter? If so check the 4 amp fuses located in eng compartment. One will be by the junction block on RH fender the other by left front of radiator support.

no it is not charging and it shows that it is not charging on the gage. it does not have an ammeter it has a volt gage now. thhere is nothing on my fenders. the junction block on the left side(drivers side) core supp. has power going through it.
