Well I have to redo my battery relocation to make it NHRA legal and am following the following link as a reference.

I don’t understand which wire he is talking about here:
“--If you have a 3G alternator--
*** One thing to note, if you have upgraded to a 3G alternator, the black/orange-striped charging wire will need to be pulled off the alternator's charging post and covered, then run the new 2ga charge wire from the charging post to the back as in the diagram. (The stock size is 4ga I believe, but use 2ga for better chargine) If you follow the black/orange striped wire you'll see that it goes to the starter solenoid. Do NOT pull the black/orange-striped wire off the starter solenoid, as you will have inadvertently also pulled off another wire that the regulator uses to sense voltage. It ties into this black/orange-striped wire about 5" or so before the starter solenoid so it can read the voltage at the solenoid and get a true sense of what the alternator needs to put out.”
Which black/orange wire is he talking about. When I swapped to the 130A Alternator I used the PA performance wiring kit, and I only have one main charging wire going back to alternator. I can’t remember if I already did what he is talking about when I did the swap. Isn’t that part of the 130A upgrade process anyway?
Thanks,
