My repair manual was really helpful when I ripped out the alternator. "Remove Alternator from the bottom of the vehicle".

Anyhoo, got it out and bought a new one. Now I forget how the wiring goes.

There is a plug that I have plugged in to the alternator, now there is the main hookup on the back of the alternator. I hooked that up with the nut that came with the new one. Now, the last wire connect with a small bolt. Does this go into the back of the alternator, or is it the ground and just ground to the a bot that holds the alternator together?

Any help would be appreciated.

The last one is a ground, if it's black. It simply connects to any point on the alternator case.
