Alternator Wiring

I plan on installing the MGB alternator on Matt's car. I think the large terminal goes to the starter relay. Can anyone tell me where the small terminal is connected?
Thanks.

Tom,

Be sure to connect the large terminal to the HOT side of the relay. Where the generator is connected now.

The small terminal probably gose to the ignition light. Or actually the ignition light goes to it. It then goes to ground until the alternator starts to charge.
