New battery and alternator and battery keep going dead, is there a altenator relay or fusable link, if so where are they located, can't even find the fuse box on this car?

Either you have an electrical short that's draining the battery or the computer is not controlling the field generation circuit.

thanks, how would I check for short?Could it be a wire from altenator to the battery?

Disconnect the positive battery cable put a test light between the disconnect cable and battery positive post-if the test light lits-you have a short start removing fuses one by one the one that turns off the test light is the trouble circuit.
