The alternator you got is a "one wire" unit, and doesn't need the "switched excite" wire to it's #1 terminal, and the "voltage sense" wire from the large output stud to it's #2 terminal, so those terminals are covered with the black rubber plug.

The alternator WILL charge with just the large output wire connected, but, likely, the engine will have to be revved up somewhat, after each startup, for it to begin to charge (excite).

Some of us prefer the "OEM-type" 3-wire setup like you HAD, but the goofy "one-wire" units always seem like the "cat's whiskers" to the "electrically challenged", as Dell likes to say, over on the "N" Ford Board.
