 If it's available, which I doubt, we can only post it here. This is a pay site. We don't communicate through e-mail.

  Does this alternator have 2 red wires and 1 brown wire or brown and white wire? If so I can help you.

Actually, this is where we get confused. It has a red wire that goes into the battery terminal, with a white wire that splits off from the red wire. Plus there are 3 green wires, just "hanging around"...one that sits on the valve cover and goes to a sensor, and it has power, and there is another one that is suppost to go to the alternator (we are guessing, because it almost reaches it and it also has power)- and there is a short green wire by the firewall, which has no power to it. We need to know what they all are suppost to do and/or power... and our main question is why do 3 of the wires have power, if the green one we are guessing about does in fact go to the alternator.
(note- all green wires are the same color green.)

  Is that one of those huge Leese Nevile alternators?   Or is it a Delco Remy?

It is a Delco Remy, and thanks... We are starting to wonder if we will ever get this done!
