First of all, I am using the KA lower wiring harness and hooking it up to a redtop SR20.....here's 3 questions, i hope they are easy to answer, please help me out so i can get these issues past me....

(1) im hooking up the lower wiring harness.. I have everything hooked up except for a small ground wire left over and i do not know where it goes. The ground looks like it should go to the alternatorn judging by it's legnth and position, but I already have the main plug for the alternator hooked up, and a fairly large looking ground type piece that went on the back of the alternator and is secured by a nut... Are there 3 wires that go on the alternator or just the 2 that i mentioned?? If you guys need a picture of the wire, i can take it tommorow.. Also, i have 2 wires hooked up to the starter, i think thats all you need, right...?

(2)i also noticed that the SR transmission has fewer sensors that the KA did... should i just secure the unused plugs and let them hang there, i think i have 2 unused plugs for the transmission, does that sound correct??

(3)Also, on top of the SR transmission, there is this orange kind of hollow tube that is rather long.. at the end of it, there is a very larger connector piece (not a plug), it looks like you have to bolt it down somewhere.. does anyone know where that goes?

thank you for the help, i hope someone knows what im talking about and i dont sound like an idiot...

1. the ground goes to your strut tower. Put a bolt through it and it'll ground.2. the sr transmission has less sensors than the ka one.3. it gets bolted down with one of the transmission bolts.
