can not stay charged
1984 firebird 305h v8 4bbl engine no a/c
replaced battery, both battery cables and alternator (all new and rechecked delco parts)
vehicle will not charge
do you have a wiring diagram of what wires are to go to the alternator?
vbelt pulley
1 red + positive large nut on rear, positive cable from battery connected
2 terminals on top of case plug was cut by some one , what wires should go into this plug? I connected some cut wired inthe engine compartment but it is wrong???
thanks

Are three wires on the older delco alternators.
Heavy guage output stud wire connects directly to the battery (probably has a fuselink inline in case one of the alternator diodes shorts to ground)
The red wire on the two pin connector is the voltage sense wire, connect this to the alternator output stud.
The other wire on two pin connector is for the dash warning light. The wire must be connected through a resistor to a switched ignition source for the alternator to charge.

and brownish wire connected to the other side of the plug goes along the valve cover into the wiring harness( i found this longwire on the intake it reaches the plug and looks to be correct)....does this wire ever show (+)???+
thanks again
