Alternator Wire Problems

My battery was not keeping a charge so I took it to Autozone to have it check and the young grasshopper told me that im missing the wires for the 2wire alternator plug . I was under the impression that I had a one wire alternator so I had a wire hook straight to the battery and maybe the alt was bad. Now for the bad news, I remove all my harness and pulled everything out the car so I probably will need to run a wire from the starting point to the finishing point to get my battery to charge. Can someone provide picture or a good diagram of what I need to do in order to get my charging system working again. One option will be to buy a One Wire Alternator and be done with it or run the wires to the Alt until I have the money to buy a new Alt. I'm basically asking for a good picture (Best) or diagram (ok) on how to wire this alternator.
Thanks: DTL
