$10.00 on ebay. search "LS1 alternator" and you'll find it.
Splice it in as far up as you can and use butt connectors, do not solder it. Then shrink wrap it.

The exciter wire broke at the connector when I was changing my alternator. I got a replacement at the junk yard. But, if it is broken somewhere up stream, that might suck trying to find the break. I would get a new connector and splice it in and see if that works. Good Luck. Let us know what you find out.
