There are two small wires coming out of my stock alternator. I'm guessing that one is field and one is the idiot light. Does anyone know which is which, or how to test this, and what comes out of the idiot light wire - 12v or ground? John Slade

 
When you say stock alternator, do you mean from a 2nd gen RX-7, or ???  I'm sure we can cough up the actual schematic info if it's an RX-7 alt.  FWIW, you're probably right about what the wires do, and the idiot light circuit probably provides a ground to turn the light on.
