okay, so I have a 1987 240 DL and I am replacing the alternator. I got the old alternator out and want to make sure I put the new one in correctly. I was wondering if there was somewhere I could get a good picture of which wires attach where on the alternator. There are three wires, a small red one, a larger red one and the blue ground wire. I think I found where the two red ones go, but the blue one was bolted with a hose on the original alternator, but I can't find the same spot on the new alternator. Also, how much tension should be in the belts and are there any signs that will let me know that it's adjusted correctly? Also, I'm not sure how the adjustment bolt goes in exactly. Again, a diagram would be greatly appreciated!

This is my first adventure into trying to be a mechanic, so any and all advice is welcome!

Thanks!
