I'm confused
Does anyone want to explain to me, in great detail, how do I connect the alternator.
Where do I put the wires
Help

You want to have the output of the alternator go through a fuse, and then to the positive terminal of the battery.

The fuse should be a 50amp marine style, use 8 gage wire from alternator to positive battery post. Also run a sense wire to any wire that has power when key is switched on.
