To convert a 3-wire plug to a 2-wire plug, you would typically remove the ground wire from the circuit.

Do the ribs on one side of a wire mean neutral or hot?
Standard 115 extension cords have three wires but sometimes the ground is the only wire that is color coded. If you cut off the plug, you can lose a sense of which wire is NEUTRAL (white) and which is HOT (black). Its easy if you THINK. Look at the plug as and a receptacle as if you were going to push it in. The ground wire (green) is on the bottom. The ribbed side is on the left of the plug. If you look at a receptacle, you will see that side is NEUTRAL. The smooth wire side is on the right of the plug and would connect to the BLACK side of the receptacle. Got it? Most 3-wire cords use color coding. Most 2-wire cords use the "ribbed" method. The RIBBED side is supposed to be the "identified wire" which is the neutral. Be careful with thinking "right" or "left" because some 3-wire receptacles are installed horizontally or with the ground up. Further, don't assume the ribbed side is neutral on an existing installation unless you test and confirm it.
Extra wire at alternator could it be a ground wire if so where does it go?
I believe on most alt. you have a positive hot (red) wire that usually goes to the threaded bolt on the back of the alt. and goes directly to the positive terminal on the batt. and a ground wire that goes to the frame of the alt. usually you put it between the frame of the alt. and where one of the brackets bolt up to support the alt. just pinch it between the two and run the bolt through the mounting bracket and the wire and the alt. and tighten it up and that will ground it. then you will have a plug and wiring harness that just plugs into the alt.
