Alt charge light on dash ...88 9KT

I am back again --Last week had a question about voltage drop to 11 -12 volts at battery. Decided to replace VR and brush set. I have no idea how others can get the 2nd screw out from behind oil filter so they can rebrush while on car so i pulled the alt out and put the thing back in - after hours of trial and error and filing ears down.... i fire it back up -- same problem - 11-12 volts.
.. when i pulled wires off the alt, the secondary (non red) wire was mere threads. I think a ps fluid leak ate the thing away -- no insulation - only a few strands of copper left.... I make a quick and dirty slice - before that the dash light barely glowed - now its REAL bright red.
.. how many wires go to an 88 9kt 80 amp alt and if that secondary is bad - will it not let the alt kick in and charge....? .. do i go farther up the wiring harnes to find a good part?? if that aint the problem - what's the next thing i check...?
thanks again - esp for the hint to file down ears to get alt back in the bracket..

- Theoretically 12v should work, but I don't do this, DickT

- If the alternator end of the wire is grounded the light, DickT
