got it out of the rain and in a garage the alt. ground came loose and fried and broke ,

lucky for me i have all my old stuff laying around my garage in various places
Dc wiring harness it is!

seperated the solid wire

disconnected old alt. cable from fuse box in the engine bay ( top wire one that doesnt go to the battery .. )

connected and started up perfectly no red battery light in dash id say im good to go! total cost = 30 mins. :D
