Battery will not charge
Okay I have an 83 with a swapped in carbureted 302. I am not sure what the original motor is. It was done by a different fella. I do not know if that will all make a difference but here is what I need.
A wiring diagram that shows the wiring from the battery, solenoid, alternator and regulator.
The car would not start after a couple days driving. So I had the alternator tested and it passed. I put an ohm meter to the regulator and it seemed to be all good. The battery is brand new. I charged it and started it up when I removed the positive battery cable the car died. I figure this means it is wiring?
Thanks in advance for any help.

No other thoughts?
I took off some electrical take to see what I had going on and found that I had some fusible linkages so I cut them out and sliced the wire together to see if I had a bad connections. No help.
Any suggestions?
