Here I am, still doing wiring...

=20

My alternator I got from Franklin guys in CO got me scratching my head.
Many of the airplane wiring references refer to three major connections
to the alternator.  Airframe GND, Alternator Field, and Alternator Out.

=20

Now, as I look at my alternator, there appears to be four connections.
One is the GND which essentially is the casing bolted down to the
engine.  Then there is a terminal that is marked with '+' symbol that I
figured is the OUT judging from the size of the bolt and nut on the
terminal.  Now, on the side, there is a plastic connector that has two,
yes two, wires coming out.  One is yellow and the other is green.  They
are marked 'S' and 'L'.  I am guessing one of them is the 'Field' but
which one?

=20

Has anyone got this figured out?
