Re: alternator
Are you asking about the wire or washer hookup?

Re: alternator
You do not get red and black washers on a normal alternator installation.
If you have a red or black washer you are into a world of problems. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS or Take it back to the parts store and let them show you how the washers go. Or post us a picture of it and washers. The only wassher you should have is sometimes a lock washer that goes between the wire terminial and the nut. MT

Re: alternator
It doesn't matter what order you make the connections in, unlike a generator you dont have to polarize an alternator, just make sure you disconnected the neg battery cable first. the washer is for the ground wire which goes to a threaded post on the alternator housing.
