    65 Barracuda - No Charge from Alternator

    The photo I uploaded is of the alternator off of my Barracuda. I just took it and got it tested and it tested just fine, but when I have it installed on the car I get 12.2V at the battery and it just slowly goes down as the car is running longer. I currently have two wires coming off the...
