Power to alternator

[69tri]

just putting this car together. All the wires look to be in proper location. When I hook the battery up there is power to the heavy gauge black wire all the time. Power is present at the bulkhead connector. Even with that wire disconnected from the bulkhead so I know power isn't coming from inside engine compartment. I tried to follow a wiring diagram but I'm more mechanical that an electrical

Batt and alt post are directly linked throught the ammeter. Both are allways hot once batt is connected-

Now, if you disconect the bulkhead plug, it should cut. maybe there is a jumper wire/bypass to the bulkhead somewhere

Ok sounds normal then. Just wasn't sure if it was always hot. I didn't take this car A part so I'm having trouble getting everything back together because I'm not sure where everything was connected before. Apart so I'm having trouble getting everything back together because I'm not sure where everything was connected before. Thank you
