On my '71 220D I attached 3 loose wires to a single bolt. From looking at my schematic I am thinking I did wrong and there should be an attachment place, on the alternator, for each of these three wires. This may be why my car won't start.

I bought a Delco Gold battery at Sears yesterday and still no go on turning over the battery. As suggested I am going to focus on my starter... but that's another thread.

Could anyone tell me if I need to undo the 3 wires on the single bolt on alternator and find a proper place to attach them. Please hurry if you have an answer as I have someone looking at it for me this a.m. and WE could use useful info .
thanks
