Alternator problem...help please 
Ok found my pos. battery cable loose.When I tightened it up I striped it.Tried to drive it to the parts house but on the way it started cutting out and went dead......I installed a new battery then found out I fried the alternator.I had it rebuilt today and it wont charge??? The guy that rebuilt it tried it on the tester before I left with it so I know the alt. is good.The car is a 2000 z28.! big wire +1 little wire....thanks

You can get a new connector off ebay for a decent price:

I think the dealer charges $40 for it.
