3 wire alternator question
To start things off i am aware that there has been many write ups on this topic
Things I understand and are doing
1. using a gm alternator bracket (trail gear)
2. Powermaster 150amp alternator #47294
3. wiring
- #1 to light
- #2 to sense
- B straight to battery (with a inline 175amp fuse) using 4 gauge wire
So my questions are ;
Following people plans show that the 3 wire that go into the back of the OEM alternator are red, white, and yellow................ My wires are colored green, Black (maybe blue?), and yellow
How do I wire this? Which color is the "light wire", which is the "sense"?
Final Question ;
how can I remove the external voltage regulator from the drivers side fenderwell along with some extra wires ? Really want too clean up the engine bay and messy wiring so how did y'all go about doing this ?

update : turns out that the power master 150amp doesn't fit with the trail gear bracket ...............
Anyone with suggestions ? lol
Prolly will just end up extending the lower bracket a couple of inches until the pulley on the alternator lines up with the engine pulley

What year is it?
That way you can probably look at a wiring diagram and figure out what wire goes where?
Also, did you try this bracket?
