Exciter Wire Location

I'm changing my alternator and am trying to locate the exciter wire. Everyone has said that you can disconnect it from the top of the engine bay. I saw the wire that's screwed into the back of the alternator with a big rubber boot on it but I don't think that is it. Any help is appreciated.

it's a plug on the top rear of the alternator.
I attached a pic a had, it's not the best but you can see the clip part of the plug.

If you can't get it from the top, don't worry about it.

When you get the 3 bolts out that mount the alt in, you can just tilt it backwards and release that clip very easily. And like I said, don't break it like I did to mine.
