HI ALL new here and to kit cars so please bare with me
i have a new alternator unipart gxe2291 it has the 3 normal spade connectors 2 large which are joined and the smaller one it also has a stud and nut with the letter W next to it and bolted next to it there's a little black box with a wire running to another spade terminal and next to it there's another stud and nut with a plastic cover and between them there's the letter B+ so my question is do i do any thing with the 2 studs/nuts that are marked up W and B+ as my car only has the 3 spade connectors thanks

W+ : rev counter
B+ : Main output - normally connected directly to the positive terminal on starter solenoid. From there there should be a thick gauge cable to the positive terminal on the battery


... best post a photo if you can.

It will look like this [pg]79939 [/pg] (without the space after the number.

And the pic will come up like this:
