I can make a drawing and email it to you if you like. Its a pretty simple bracket to make. I can also email you a picture.

Drop me an email to "jvan@ipass DOT net" and I'll reply-email a picture of it.

I would have gone with a 1 wire system myself except I already had this alternator sitting around.

The second wire runs from the ignition switch to the larger of two terminals which plug into the side of the alternator.

The third wire is a smaller wire which runs from the ignition through a 12V light bulb and into the smaller terminal on the side of the alternator. This supplies field current for the alternator and the light bulb acts as an idiot light and will light up when the alternator output drops.

Having said all this, it's really easier to simply use a 1 wire GM alterator. I used the older style because I had one already and I did not mind running the extra wires since I was re-wiring the entire machine at the time. I completely re-wired the console and replaced some of the gauges. When I got it, the wiring on my 450 was pretty butchered up.

Drop me an email so I've got your email address and I'll email you a picture of the alternator setup on my 450 if you like.
