I have tried, and tried to take my name off the email list but it has just not happened. If you have any suggestions please help me.

I agree with Mike.  Ideally, you would have a 3 wire setup... with a gm 10si 
or 12si alternator.  There is a big charge stud, then a #1 and a #2 
terminal.  #2 terminal can wire right down to the charge stud.  The charge 
line runs out to your ammeter.. etc.. and the #1 line needs to pass thru a 
diode, 194 lamp or push button switch, and then hook to the ignition coil 
side of your ignition switch.

If using a diode, make sure the cathode or striped / marked end is pointed 
towards the alternator.. get one that will handle a couple amps.. etc.. 
Radio shack is a good source.
