Hi I’m installing my gauges and I have 3 wires that go to the alternator guage. One is solid red, the other red with a white stripe and a black.I didn’t take the dash apart otherwise I would know where they went . Thank for the help

Chrysler was pretty consistant on the idnetification for these.
Red is battery side and should be labeled R on the ammeter stud.
Black is the connection to the main splice.

Your third could be clock or convertible top or maybe something else.

If you haven't yet, a full wiring diagram is in the Service Manual.
Digital version of the Service Mnaual is available for download at www.mymopar.com
Use the diagrams in the manual, not the aftermarket ones also at mymopar.

Chrysler pamphlet about reading and using the diagrams.
1968 Electrical Wiring (Session 247) from the Master Technician's Service Conference
and the accompanying filmstrip.

Typically Wire ID for late 60s.
A is Battery outputs (and recharge).
R is Alternator circuits. R6 is alternator output.
J is Ignition and engine.
J1 is often power to ignition switch
J2 is ignition (includes power to voltage regulator)
J3 is ignition feed when key is in start.
Q is Accessory feeds
Q2 is switched accessory feed - (pretty much everything which requires key on other than ignition)
L is typically exterior Lighting
H is usually Horn.

For 1965, see the first few pages of the FSM to see what shorthand is used for Valiant and Darts.
Its different than later years which used V (for Valiant) and L (for Darts).

I just looked and your correct it says red, and it’s a convertible so that would be the other wire. Thank you
