Alternator problem
I have a 1989 iroc-z camaro that i bought with out a motor in it and when the guy pulled the 305 out of it he just cut wires and stuff and he gave me a 350 to put in it. I got most of the stuff hooked up but my alternator wont keep my battery charged and i dont know why i put a new alternator in it and a brand new battery. I have the wire goin from the battery to the alternator and i thought i had the plug right but i dont know if it is the right one does anyone know where the wires come from that go to the alternator and also i am having some trouble with the vacuum lines if someone has a diagram for the routing that would be great. Thanks.

Alternative Information
The heavier red wire goes to the positive stud, and should have power at all times.
The thinner red wire goes to terminal S (the sensing circuit) and should have power at all times.
The brown wire goes to terminal T (the turn-on input) and should have power when the key is in the RUN position.

Re: Alternative Information
thank you i found the wires but now the alternator is making a wining sound when i start it but when i take the plug off it quits does anyone know what could be the cause? Maybe a bad alternator? I dont know and i also need to know where the vacuum lines go on my carb its a quadrajet 4bbl carb and i need to know where they go on the carb and to where in the engine bay. and also what vacuum lines go to the intake manifold and where they come from its a edlebrock preformer intake. Can anyone help me out.

It sounds like one of the diodes went bad.
You can open it up to locate and replace it, or to save time just install a new alternator.
