Yeah, the ground wires will be a relative easy assignment. Just trying to follow the power wire, it appears it goes to a distribution block on the starter and then to the Alternator. To many obstructions to see where it actually goes. I will have to remove some parts to get a better look this weekend.

Thanks for the pics, TS! I still can't tell which wire is connected to the alternator from the drawings. It looks like #8 in the second picture might be it. Anyway, removing the intake manifold and throttle body shown in the OEM configuration above should give you access to the terminals on the alternator. But don't take my word on that.

Notice in picture #2, that ring terminal from the power cable, looks like its going to some type of distribution block on top of what appears to be a starter. If you then look down to picture #3 then u will see straight lines drawn to that block. Looks like there is a another ring terminal going into another direction to a plug that appear to plug into the alternator.

I tried to post pic show it. But I gave up.  Nice pics Tsoup!
