Gbody oil light and battery light issue

[Albert714]

So I replaced alternator again I checked it with voltmeter car being off it reads 12 volts and when I turn it on it reads 12 volts until I gas it and the battery light comes on then it reads 14.50 volts and also the oil choke light still on any suggestions
I also remove positive terminal and it shuts off right away ?
Last time someone mention fusible link the one on the cable to alternator any body know how to change it or where I can find one ?

What does this mean ?

Yeah, don't do that. Fusible links are on the positive side, which means you have voltage since the idiot lights come on; I doubt you have one blown. It sounds more like a ground problem. Clean and thoroughly check all the grounds, paying special attention to the battery to body, engine to body (center of firewall), engine to frame, and battery to engine. If those all check out, there are (2) 10mm bolts above the e-brake. One shuld have some ground rings on it.

last time I had this backwards......on the alternator 2 plug harness #1 pin needs 12v to excite the alternator. The #1 pin is a ground until the alternartor starts to charge and turns #1 pin to + which turns off the alternator warning light which is just a resistor. You can run a 12v switched wire to the #1 pin with a resistor in the wire to the #1 pin.

If you flip the plug over, 1 becomes 2 and 2 becomes 1.....

Thank you I’ll give this a try

No, don't do that. The plug has a clip that fits in a notch in the case.
