If it is the correct Alt.
The Batt. wire goes to the amp gauge. From the gauge it goes to the starter. The #2 terminal is connected to the Batt. terminal.
The #1 terminal is connected to the Ign. with a Diode installed so the engine will shut off.
BTW On my WDX. the amp gauge will stick(pegged) if I "toot" the horn to long.
I just "tap" the glass lightly and it goes back.Those old gauges are very sensitive.
