1968 f100 with a small block/ 100 amp alt.
there is a small 8 inch lead black/with red, coming off the main ground ...as if it needs to be on the alternator but not sure where it goes (what post?) the other black with red follows the harness to the voltage regulator. there are 3 posts on the alt. white ,white with black and the thick black which goes to -B, they are pretty much self explanitory except the black and red off the ground thanks for your help, want to start this thing

It is going to the "G" terminal... G=Ground and it does show it going to the mounting bolt for the Voltage regulator, this gives them (alternator and regulator) a common sensing ground.
The Field wire "F" is #35 and is Orange wire.

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...
