Alternator HELP!!!!

[Mr.GrandPrix]

I have a 84 Grand Prix. Had a 305 in it. I swap it with a Chevy 350 that came out of a 94 Silverado. On my alternator I have a cut brown wire coming from it. Don't know what it hooks up to on the wire harness. I know it suppose to be going to my ignition but don't know which wire to hook it up too.Can someone help?

Search is your friend. No introduction?...

 

[Mr.GrandPrix]

How you doing? Thanks for the reply. I've been searching for the last week and no luck.

Intro & pics would be helpful. That brown wire is for the volt/generator light (small red light on volt gauge if equipted.) The other end is somewhere in the engine harness running along the red wires off the alternator.

Does your car have a charge, or alternator indicator light on the gauge? You can run a new lead from the brown alternator wire, or termination point to a spare switched +12 volt terminal on your fuse panel. You will probably need a small bulb or inline resistor attached to this wire...or try to find the cut end going into the harness plug.

Is this wire on the car wire harness or the alternator?

Are you using the alternator from the new engine?

Or the one that was already in the car?

 

[Mr.GrandPrix]

The wire is on the Alternator and im using the alternator form the 305.

It looks like this. the brown wire is cut. and on the wire harness i can't find another cut wire.

 

[Mr.GrandPrix]

I can provide actual pics of it once I get home.

That doesn't look like the OE alternator foe '84
