I can't remember how to hook up the wires back on to my alternator....I have 2 "male" terminals sticking out of the alternator and 2 "female" connectors from my wiring harness....a blue wire and a green wire....
The blue wire also hooks to the +(positive)side of the coil and the green one goes to the -(negative) side of the coil..
So, my question is::: which wire goes to which terminal on the alternator???? or does it even matter???
Does this make any sense to anyone??? Thanks

Doesn't matter which way the field wires go.

You might want to check that as the green field wire would not be going to the coil negative or anywhere other than from (as said) either field lead to the VR ground terminal(the one on the right) when the pyramid is facing up.
