I took the ALT to autozone and it tested fine, im going to fire up my car this weekend and I repaired a little bit of wiring so hopefuly that fixed my charging issue as the ALT is good, please which wires should have power with the engine off.

White/yellow (labeled A on your regulator) and the charge cable should float battery voltage with the key-off.
