So i Fried my voltmeter and will have to get another

but... I was able to check the positive cable to both the alternator and the fuse area by the fender all the connections are very clean and very tight also no green and no frays. Positive cable to the starter also very clean and tight. By the way the starter is also a new rebuilt Bosch unit.

I was able to fine the negative cable to the fender and it is also very clean and tight. The neg cable that goes to the block is very tight but is coated in old greasy oil. will that make a difference

I did hook up the battery to the charger and it shows a full charge immediately.

One thing though there is this wire that goes from the alternator to this round thing that screws into the block that was a little loose what is that?
