Default alternator?

I have an electrical connector and a terminal coming off of my alternator. My painless harness has one gray wire that is labeled (alt.). What goes where? What goes to my autometer gauge?

Terminal goes to the "+" side of the battery, gray wire to the alternator. Your ammeter gauge can be spliced into any lead that is hot when the key is switched on. Ammeters are "series" devices, just cut the hot lead and connect the hot side to the "+" and the other side to the "-".
