My heavy red wire is on the positive battery cable. Thanks.

I have an UPDATE:
I swapped the distributor wires (again) and I used my new advanced light (Thanks Mr. P) and I now have good initial timing again. It showed 22 degrees with the new light. So the ECU swap to the MSD only changed by 2 degrees. COOL!! Thank you all for your patience on that one.

----------------------------------------------

Even though I found the loose connector at the altenator, my ammeter is still bouncing around at idle the same as before (just left of straight up to the middle of the +). But, the two voltage gages are now showing 14v +/- 1/2 volt. So the volt gages cleaned up allot (still jumping at idle rpms from 13.5 to about 14.5) but still not as solid as before. At 1400rpms the ammeter and both guages are solid.

Note: After I was done, I shut the car off and put the battery charger on the battery and it started at 75% and went to 100% within a minute or two.

Any suggestions on the electrical issue?

Thanks again for your patience.
