Alternator wires, Where do they go?? 1989 RS
Alternator wires, Where do they go?? 1989 RS
Ok guys this question has been asked a million times bt I cant find a strait answer. I searched but to no avial. I have an 89 RS camaro 355 swapped'. I need to rewire the alternator, I have a large red wire (dist. block) (bottom of alt.)........ Then there is a (approx 12 guage) red wire from the 2 wire plug, then laastly a white/brown stiped wire.
Now, i have read that the brown wire is the one I need to wire to the factory guage cluster plug on pin c100 or something???
Also the red wire is just go ahead 12v. So I assume to just wire it to the bottom BATT post of my alternator. Not sure.
I appreciate any help or suggestions. I would like to go 1 wire but it wont fit the stock serp bracket.

i can send you the factory wiring chart but i need an email address because i dont know how to get a picture from my computer into this thing as it keeps asking for a url and i dont have a separate site for it. 
not sure if that did it or not
pm me with e-mail address

you really need the wiring diagram. there are 4 possible fusible links and the brown wire goes into a 20 amp fuse box inside the car.
i wish there was a way to insert a pic from our computer into the answers. im sure that there is but i cant figure it out.
maybe this did it. yes it got in. click on it and its the factory wiring for that issue.

Treat the connector in the following link as a two-wire connector and you'll have what you need.

Thanks for the good pictures. I am in the process of finishing a BBC swap I started years ago and this was a good refresher. It was a little tricky picking back up on a half wired project from years ago.
