Go to an alternator rebuild shop.  They will test output, diodes, etc. for
free.  They can't test it if they don't connect it.  They will tell you what the
leads are for.  I do it all the time.

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?
