No, just a company I know of and have bought from in my VW days (technically I still am in my VW days as I still own one).

Received the Bosch alternator today. Anyone know how to wire it up? I hoped it would come with some directions but nada.

Small spade connector goes to the idiot light on the dash. Large eyelet terminal goes to the B+. That is the only wires needed unless you would like a dedicated ground wire.

Jim,
The B+ terminal that you refer to...is it positive battery terminal? I don't see B+ on my Electrical Schematic.

The B+ would be the wire that originally went from the stock voltage regulator to the starter battery terminal. The idiot light wire also attached to the original voltage regulator. You will have to lengthen the wires to reach the alternator. You could put a terminal block in the place of the voltage regulator and lengthen the wires from there.
