Alternator wiring question

Just got my CUCV running (needed new starter) and also just replaced the drivers side alternator.

I have my pass side ready to go and mounted, but have not connected it since I am unsure of the wiring. I see two 10g red wires - one has an orange line with an inline fuse in it - and the 2 pin connector ( i know where that goes).


My question is which wire goes to the positive terminal on the pass alternator and which goes on the isolated ground post?


For the drivers side alt, I have in connected, but i noticed there is a thin black wire that did not have anywhere to connect to....

Looking at the schematic, for the passenger side alternator, it appears that the large Red with the Orange wire, connects to the Positive terminal.
The single large Red wire connects to the isolated Negative terminal.
You may want to verify the other end of these wires with an ohm meter.

The smaller Black with the White trace wire, connects to the Ground of the Drivers side alternator. It is the ground for the diagnostic connector.
