+ term on the alternator (or do aircooled vas have the 3
wire plug for the motorola alternators)? If you have that silly
plug, you can pop open the box wire distro box in the hatch and
use the 'high amperage connection post'. If you don't have either
of those, then I guess the coil connection as someone else had
mentioned...
