Another Single Wire Corvette Alternator question I have a carbd LS6 with the corvette alternator. It is a 2000, with a 4 prong plug. I have the pigtail and every other part of the wiring ready minus the freaking alternator. I have searched high n low trying to find some info on my exact setup, or anything that I feel comfortable using as reference. HOW DO I WIRE THE PLUG? My alternator plug has an SFL labeled on it. Thats it. Its carbed and I dont mind running wires. Just dont wanna run the wrong wires. If some one can direct me or fill me in I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Oh I guess I should list a little more info-
I am running the Edelbrock/MSD box
The setup is in a 66 Chevelle, with a new american auto wire harness.
Tried to have powermaster build me a single wire corvette alternator......... Waaaaaay too much $$$

I had originally planned on using the dash lamp but didn't realize the alternator won't work with an LED lamp (after I had just replaced all my dash lamps with LED's). So, on my '03 C-5 setup, I have terminal "F" on the alternator (terminal "B" on the plug) wired directly to a 12v "key on" source.

To fill everyone and any one who may be having issues with their alternator... What S10 said worked! I was nervous at first cuz I read you have to wire it differently, but nope. Works great. I checked battery voltage before start, at idle and after shutting motor off. Everything is as it should b. Simple, Thanks S10!
