If you are installing a Delco with a built/in regulator (120amp) it has one 
main battery terminal, and a plug in for 2 other terminals. Go to your local 
auto parts store and pick up a plug with two wires whiich will plug in to 
the alternator. Now run a wire (18gauge) from the main terminal of the 
alternator to the battery.(I have a starter solionid to where I take my 
power).Now the other two wires (14gauge) = one wire goes to the power side 
of a fuse and the other can be conected to the egnition wire which went to 
the generator or you can take it to the key.
Just a tip = if you wire it wrong the engine will keep runing so make shore 
you hook the wire at the fuse box to a key controlled circut.

Best of luck.
