I need to buy a starter and a an alternator for a junk yard engine not sure if it is a 1987 or 1988 trying to find out where to locate engine number on block ?

If the battery is charged and the starter solenoid clicks then the problem is the the starter solenoid contacts are worn out and not making a good connection, they can be replaced, here is a link to a company that sells them, they are very cheap.

The bid cable on the starter may have had another wire on it that the alternator charges the battery threw,it may not have got reconnected,or the fusible link in that wire may have burned into.Or plain and simple the alternator went out.Check these things out and remove the alternator and have it check out to see if it is working properley.

Follow the red or positive battery cable and it will eventually end at the starter. There may be a solenoid in there somewhere as well, but there will always be another heavy cable like the first one leading away. Continue following that one until you get to it.
You can also check the AutoZone website as they have a fairly good repair resource for things like this.
