Did you hook up the alt charging light?

 

is that the lil one wire conector i hooke dup all 3 conectors on the alternator and on the starter solenoid i removed the black n orange wire that comes from the alternator to the starter solenoid

 

you have to keep the black and orange wire on the solonoid. you don't need them on the alt end if you have the 4 gauge wire there

 

is that why is was reading no voltage or very lil if that

 

yes you need to keep them hooked up at the solonoid. just tape off the ends from the alt end cause it will still have batt current in them.
