Wires to Alternator? Ground Strap? Finishing my project of putting a 382 Stroker '03 LS6 into a '98 SS. Had no motor, no tranny to start out with. I'm to the point of hooking up the alternator. I see the stock harness has a small two wire plug with just one wire going to it (Looks like the previous owner spliced it this way with two or three pieces of short, different sized wire???) The alternator I ended up getting is from a Corvette, I think, and it has a four wire plug to it.
What do I need to do to hook this up?
Also I seen on my friends Camaro what looked like a ground strap going to the alternator. Does this in fact go to the alternator, and where does it bolt to?
To sum up...I can figure out the big wire easy, but what about the ground strap and the four wire plug???
Thanks in advance guys!

I have a Corvette set-up in my RX7 with an F-body harness. I do not recall any ground wires going to the alternator. My harness plugged right into the alternator and it has only one wire out of the four connected. It works fine. When I get home, I can take some pics and let you know what wire is hooked up.
