Yes.

The two 12-ga red wires run in parallel from the B+ alternator
terminal to the 30 terminal on the starter, where they connect to a
1-ga wire to the battery.  The blue wire goes from the D+ terminal to
the alternator light circuit in the panel.  This circuit is
dual-purpose; as well as warning, it's also needed to start the
alternator charging.  Bentley 97.20, current tracks 28-32.


Yours,
David
