Default what alternator and wiring,,, again please

so I have been around and around trying to get this right.. what napa part number you using and how do you have it wired? please I have gone through 3 alts part number 66333 over the last 3 days and I am an idiot or something. Ill buy another part number if I can get the wiring right the first time.
I had a 470 ohm resistor going to ignition pole
then I had 12v going to B pole.. it started charging but now it is fried again and with nothing hooked to the plug its still charging 19v so I have to get another one tomorrow. I hope someone can help me do it for the last time. Please. thanks
I have searched but no part numbers are given for the ignition resistor gm alternator diagram often shown.

does anyone know if the delco part number DR44G uses the same brackets as the older truck bracket? or has anyone used this and left the two wire plug out and used it as a single wire.. I found someone that said this works elsewhere

This one is off a 1992 Chevrolet 1500. One wire to the battery. Small wire to 12 volt switch hot.

found another link someplace and did it.. napa part number 66444. Its off the newer trucks, has a two wire plug and the charge wire. If you don't hook anything to the plug it defaults to 13.7v. It has worked great all day and charges 13.7 volts on my meter..
it was a bit more money but is also a bigger alt and most importantly it works.. so far..

the 66444 alt has a 2 wire plug, and the charging stud with a 10mm nut.. I have only the charging stud wired. The other 2 wire plug is unused. This alt has internal computer that defaults to 13.7 volts.. has been working perfectly, lights, wipers, fuel pump etc with a small battery in the trunk I may add.. all is well. A true one wire alt.

I can get it to pull up if I don't select the store closest to my house, but when I do that it wont show up at all. says not available.

How much did you pay for the alternator including core charge?

195 I think is what they told me. but the reality was after burning up 2 of the 66333 alts they just traded that warranty and 95 bucks in for this one.. been flawless since then.. they mentioned this was off an 2010 truck and I think they said it was 155 amp alt also..

Yeah, but to see the price it wants the zip code. And once that is put in it disappears.

Try it yourself and see, my zip is 72455.

I used the cs 144 alt off a 99 tahoe police pkg. It uses the same wiring setup already posted, one to batter and one to switched 12v hot. Its a 4 plug altg and harness, but you just cut the other two off. Advance had new remys at the time, with a 50 buck online coupon the alt was around 100 bucks....

You apparently have a ghost or discontinued alternator. Cause me and I think 2 others cant get a price on it from napaonline.com.

So I give up on that one. I was asking what wire has the positive going to it from snook.
