Ok If you see the 2 red wires into 1 terminal I hooked up 12 volts positive and a 12 volt ground.With the key shut off my lights,security system and dash lights all came on.Now should these be hooked up to the battery or altenator?If its the battery they wont reach.

Those are two of the fusible links that go to the alternator, should be one more around there somewhere.
EDIT: They both appear to be the same gauge wire, if that's right, one of them goes to battery positive and the other goes to the junction block. The third, (smaller gauge) wire, the one that's missing, goes to the starter relay, which I believe is visible on the firewall.

Im almost certain the go to the altenator,That part of the harness will not move any further forward.I tryed.I put the altenator on the bracket and they barely reach the altenator cause the bracket for it is disconnectd from the engine.

Good news
Got the engine to crankover
The 2 wrie terminal isnt going to the batery unless I lengthen it.Theres noway now how it will reach.Im assuming it goes with the other wire to the altenator.Anyways with power to it I can go inside with the key and turn the engine over.I was also right about the nuetral safety switch not being plugged in.Im still confused why this wire if its supposed to be on the battery why it wont reach?I tryed steching the harness and it pulled the elctrical connection my fuel injection unit.It 6 inches short of the battery.

The wires in your image go to the rear of the alternator, not the battery. There is one more wire that also attaches to the alternator.
My "edit" was not clear, sorry... the other end of one of those goes to the battery positive. The other end of the other wire goes to the junction block.

Naw its not that,theres a connector one of those kind that you crimp 2 wires together.The yellow crimper just isnt holding the wires.I have to replace that or like soilder them together.
