Dave,
If you go to my site you'll see a link to GM Alternator conversion. On that
page is another link to "all you need to know about them". Dan masters sent
it to me last year as a reference.

I think you need to find those directions. I'm not sure how to hook up this
alternator but I'm pretty sure that connecting "F" or 2 to a constant 12
volt supply is not right.
Does the 10SI have an internal regulator?
