charging

This is currently my wiring on my new alternator on my ‘83 2.0L gas ranger. It’s not charging still. Am missing the black ground wire to the leftmost post correct? It’s nowhere in the engine bay and I’m the farthest thing from an electrical guru, I tend to avoid it at all costs. I bought the...

Hey all, so this is going to sound like the obvious answer is a bad voltage regulator, but it has been far more confusing of a problem and I finally decided to stop and ask for some help. I have a 1991 ranger that came with the 2.3 stock. I have swapped the engine for the 2.3 turbo from an 88...
