Alternator wiring help

have a problem with the charging

The alternator that i am running is an 10SI old GM one wire. I only have the main power wire from the Alternator going to the starter solenoid and the pig tail only has one wire that runs to the aftermarket black box that powers ( fuel pump, fan, ex)

the aftermarket box get its power from the battery side of the solenoid. is this right or what should the pig tail plug into to make a complete circuit. i know its a lot of after market stuff but trying to make it work

Well since you asked so nicely...

There's not a lot of traffic on this board about 1-wire GM alternators. Most people who upgrade here go with a 3G setup (Ford). If you don't get any responses here, post this question in the Electrical forum. There are a handful of members there that are more knowledgable of the GM setup.
