how do I hook up the alternator without the harness.

Im getting down to the nitty gritty of my TII swap.

I need to wire the alternator but I no longer have the original engine harness.

the alternator gets hooked up to the battery straight on the main terminal and to an ignition source on the 2 terminal plug in the back of the alternator,now the question is which one of the 2 terminals , i have to look at my alternator cuz i dont remember.
2 other things i learned from experience is that dont use the volvo intercooler i had one , the car ran great but the intercooler was not efficient at all,i jump on it and watch my air temp go up like crazy instead of saying the same or even go down and that was when i had the stock turbo
basically the volvo intercooler does not even work with the stock turbo at 14 psi
i have a 60-1 with a 19x13x3 intercooler and its great.
also i have i microtech which was the best thing i bought for the money , i did not have to go to GM sensors , used all my mazda stuff and the car runs great, how great ? 372 rwhp at 9psi.
let me know if i could be of any help
