Alternator Positive?

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone knows where the positive wire on the altenator is and maybe, if I'm lucky pictures. I am doing the magic 3 upgrade right now and I need some help.

It's the only large wire on the alt. In the 4th gen it runs across in the C beam ahead of the top of the radiator. From there it goes to the fuse box next to the drivers side fender.

There are likely 2 or 3 about 14 gauge wires that go to the regulator and one larger wire, about 4 or 6 gauge that goes to the positive post. Getting to it without taking the alt off is the hard part in the 4th, 5th and 6th gen cars. It's likely in the same place in the older cars as the engine is mounted essentially the same way.
