Does the P/S alternator need to be grounded to the engine? D/S alternator has been removed after conversion. Everything worked as it should electrically. I had to replace cracked heads (bought it like this, unbeknownst to me). Neighbour & I did it. Afterwards, started & drove. Noticed battery wasn't charging & vehicle died on me after couple of days driving. Looked at alt & noticed the bottom post on alt had black wire that neighbour connected to the positive side post on alt along with 3 other red wires. I'm fairly confident that's incorrect. Doesn't it need to be grounded? What damage has been done if so? Alt Diodes? Battery is new. No instrument panel lights work anymore (4x4, idiot light, oil pressure light, etc). Checked ohms on all the fuses underneath driver side & they all checked out.
