Really never occurred to me to solder it directly. Actually, that's a good idea. I could solder a connector to the alternator while it's on the workbench, then do some kind of quick connect on the other end. This way, I don't have to solder the wire onto the alternator after it is installed (which would be hard but not impossible, I guess).
That would let me disconnect it again if I have to.
Thanks.
