In my other s10's there is a wire from the alt to the battery but in my 83 there is not and I have lots of problems should there be a wire and what gage?

Ok
there is a plug type thing that leads into the wire harness
there is a post that has a large wire that goes to the starter then the battery has a feed from pos to the starter yet in my 87 and 86 there is a wire that goes from the post to the battery, did someone forget this on my 83?
Thanks for your reply but I don't think it helps answer the question I have, but thanks
