I have a few stupid questions. My truck was converted to 12 volt by the PO and I don't think my battery is charging.

I have an alternator. One wire goes from one stud to the other on the alternator. The other wire goes from this first stud to a ceramic little block mounted on the fender. From this block it goes through the dash to the ignition switch. Then I have three wires coming back from the switch. Two go to the two connections on the starter motor and the third goes to the + on the coil.

Now, this doesn't really sound like the descriptions I have been reading. First of all, what is the DA thingy you all are talking about? Is it correct to only have one wire go to the alternator?
