ok so my friend bought an 83 carb.
changed the battery, car ran fine, then it dies
figured "hey alternator"
so yesterday i canged the alternator and charged the battery
still nothing not even an accessory beep
nothing in the car that is electrical works
a wire on the alternator was broken off
i think it was an extra ground or something
its the wire that isnt close to the plug thing
i dont think that this is the problem because the car wont even run off of the battery?
i surmised that the ignition wiring may be bad, starter maybe but i doubt it
i just want to get the damn thing running

by the way he is TJONAU1

\???? the main battery wire? does it bolt to the back of the alternator??

 

[97preludeN.O.]

it goes from the alternator to the alternator, it goes to a mount that bolts on the alternator...kinda hard to explain but the only wire that doesnt go anywhere but the alternator, and if thats the problem then how can i go about fixing it, i can't get the one side back in that cylnder thing?
