Im putting a ford 302 in my jeep, replacing the stock and tired 2.5L. I have a Duraspark II engine control/ignition system for the 302 which is pretty much self contained and easily understandable...

Heres what it looks like...
290171

now here is where i have a questions...
on the stock 2.5's alternator, there is a strange connecter on it...
290172

how would i go about connecting that to this ford alt...?
290176

So i looked at this diagram for a 93 jeep yj with a 2.5L and am just pain confused..... (i got this from this site if you need a larger view which i think everyone would like... http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/gif/large/0900823d801fec84.gif)
290177

So i know i need to connect the red and white wired from the ford harness to the jeep harness and have to tie the alternator into it also... but i am lost when anything comes to wiring and none of my friends are good with it either... they have all recommended "jerry rigging" it... and i am not a fan of doing that at all to my jeep...

any help with MORE than appreciated!:D

Why don't you use a GM self exciting set up. Foolproof and cheap enough.....................

if your saying that i should put a chevy in my jeep, then i say the hell with that idea... all the chevys i have owned have only caused me headaches... but if this is a wiring setup... i just might look into it...
