Quick Alternator Question?
I just installed my new Alternator and its not charging at all, i would assume maybe a bad alternator but while installing the plug wire underneath the alternator got a little messed up could that plug wire cause it not to charge the batt?
Also its a 1993 Corvette!

well then it sounds like that pin you bent is not making contact. just take the connector apart and bend it back
