Need help with alt wiring/'84 Firebird

Got an '84 Firebird that was originally an A/C car w/rear defrost and rear wiper. The car has had about 4 or 5 different motors in it in the last few years and some things got changed along the way. Right now the car has a driver side dipstick 350 with the old style brackets and an alternator for a non AC car. Also got rid of the computer controlled carb and all the smog stuff.

Here's the problem. Somewhere along the way somebody hacked and got rid of the alternator wiring harness, it's gone. How can I hook the alternator up so it's doing what it needs to be doing?

Wire Mire

The heavier red wire goes from a Fusible Link, to the positive stud, and should have power at all times.

The
thinner red wire goes from a different Fusible Link, to terminal S (the sensing circuit) and should have power at all times.

The
brown wire goes to terminal F (the turn-on input) from the FAN fuse, and should have power when the key is in the RUN position.



Happy Racing!
