Re: Question

Yup.

The red wire went to the output post, where the wire to the batt also went.

Re: Question

Depends on what alternator you use.

That connector is for the old 10SI model. Newer alternators use different plugs. Some "LS" alternators are controlled by the ECM. Some are not, but rather have internal voltage regulators like the 10SI did, but need different connections.

Details.
