Okay, so I bought an s14 shell, it had an s13 redtop in it before, and while putting the KA lower harness back in, I discovered I had nowhere to plug this plug into

It's just the white wire that comes straight off of the alternator. Now, the fsm if I'm reading it correctly says to wire it to the fusebox, just to the 100 amp fuse. The one farthest to the left next to my chocolatey finger.

Basically I'm just lookin for how to wire it up, maybe somebody wants to go check out their manual non-abs s14. Not sure how much of that info you need, but I would be very appreciative for any help rendered.
Thanks in advance guys

Yes that white wire goes to the main fuse (100amp on s-14). On my s-13 there is also another smaller guage white wire that tees off of that main wire and powers something else in the underhood fuse box, not sure if it is the same on s-14 but i think it should be.

Actually, the S14 lower harness is different. There's a plug underneath the fusebox, can't remember the wire color, that white wire from the alternator will go there.

Yes, but there is not wire to connect to coming out of the fusebox, so as you can see, there is a threaded hole right next to the fuse wit a wire already on it and another threaded hole right next to it. I'm thinking the wire was removed or something, so I'm trying to figure out where the plug that usually comes out of the fusebox comes from....
Thanks

Morning bump. Would somebody with a 5-spd s14 wanna trace the white wire that comes off the alternator up to the plug posted, and then into the fusebox to see where it taps into? I'd give you a super big e-hug...

Alright, is the wire in question the large 6ga coming off the charging stud? It bolts to a post behind the first bank of fusible links, it's a bolt sticking out, pointed up, right at the back inside corner of the box.

I do believe so, I'll get a picture of the post in question, then get back to you.
Thanks

So, if i'm reading this correctly, I can take this:

cut the plug, solder on an o ring connector. and then slip the connector onto this post:

bolt it down and be done with it?

I have a similar question and I didn't want to make another thread. I have an S13 with an SR in it and I plugged up the harness for as much as could however this last wire has me stumpt. Where does it go?

Ground it to the alternator case. There's an M5 bolt on the back somewhere, if not remove one of the M5 case nuts and attach it there.
