Hey Mark!
I'm looking back through my notes from when we wired the alternator into my
car. I'm assuming that the fundamentals between the one you have and the
one I have are fairly similar. However, the 3rd wire is the main
difference. I'd try it both ways, with it connected to switched power and
without. This particular alternator might have some kind of circuit that
cuts everything off if it doesn't sense ignition power. Do you happen to
have the part number of this alternator handy?
