I've just about finished putting together my 85 Z and have pretty much figured everything out. It's a TPI with an 87 roller cam engine and it runs with the exception of the temp guage and no charging voltage. Ihave discovered there is a missing wire from the post on the back of the alternator and I need to know where it goes. Starter? Battery? Both? Fusable link - how do I replace it? I bought the car with the engine completely disassembled and in boxes everything mixed together loose and it's the first FI project I've ever worked on. Pls help!

I've got the two wire plug and the Haynes schematic that shows I think, the stud on the back of the alternator in a circuit with the starter and the battery but I suck at reading the schematic. Just how do the alternator battery and starter configure?
