The large red wire (or wires) was connected to the bolt. the other small wires were connected to a plug that goes into a socket on the alternator. If you go to the dealership and ask for a repair plug you should be able to match the wire colors and solve your problem. Either that or go to the dealer and tell them you wish to look at an electrical service manual for your car.
Hey Alonzo,
Sorry to hear this.. I hate when people butcher a NICE vehicle.. I would take it to a local alternator/starter/battery specialty shop.. they will know right away what wire goes where!!
If you want to fix this yourself... here are some manuals..

OK, There should not be a "Tan" wire there. It is probably the "Red" or "Orange" wire that has faded real bad and just looks tan. It goes on the same post as the large black battery cable. It should be a 10 gauge wire. The other end of that wire goes to the "BAT" terminal on the alternator. (in case you want to check and make sure) The smaller black wires should be ground wires, They will attach to the transmission housing. Usually, there is a special bolt with a stud made on the end of it and a nut that secures the wires. As you said, the purple wire goes to the small post on the starter solenoid.

Hi, if the wire is connected by a nut on the back of the alternator it can go either to the battery or to the starter solenoid.

on the housing under the hood where your heater core and AC plumbing is there is a plug in rheostat that you need to remove and replace-take it off with the two screws that hold it and take it to a napa and they will sell you the replacement for about $20. Good Luck!

NOTE
There is a trend among manufacturers today to refer to the source of belt-driven electrical power as a -generator-; however, by virtue of the method in which the -generator- produces electrical current the device is actually an -alternator-. The two terms may be used interchangeably.
