FL Alternator wiring

Hey all. I'm wiring a 90 alternator (80 amp) into a 1980 rx7 conversion. I do not have the original wiring as this is not a rotary. Can someone tell me where the 2 wires from the plug go to. I've seen conflicting info and their mainly direct SC to FB conversions.


The main positive I assume goes to the starter or battery?

Thanks

I know the thick wire with the ring terminal goes to battery positive, one of the other wires goes to the battery/alternator warning light, I'll look it up after work for you
