From Brent Franker's webpage:

For the connection to the ALDL wires, I used red Scot-Lok (I think that's the name of them connectors. They allow splicing into wires without having to cut any wires. They make splicing very easy when working in a tight area such as this! On my 96SS, the connection is as follows: The ScanMaster RED wire is the power wire and gets connected to the ORANGE wire on the ALDL connector in location #16. This is a nothing more than a power feed from the cig lighter, fuse #11. The ScanMaster BLACK wire gets connected to the BLACK wire on the ALDL connector in location #4. This is your ground wire. The ScanMaster WHITE wire (data wire) gets connected to the TAN wire on the ALDL connector in location #9. Keep in mind, these are locations for a 96 with an OBDII connector so if you have a different year, yours may be different.

 

You don't need to connect it using an ALDL connector.... only the white wire actually has to attach to the tan wire in the ALDL connector. I spliced a wire onto the tan wire at the back of the ALDL connector, and used a single-pin connector so the ScanMaster could be removed. Do the same with any 12V source and ground in the area.... they do not need to be the ones in the ALDL connector.
