for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
A very open-ended question!! More information is needed to give an accurate answer.
Where are these wires located? What does the black wire go to?
Assuming this is in a dwelling where NM cable (Romex) was used, I don't see how you could only have white wires.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you hook up ele plug in wires coming in to house the plug has white black and ground wires and the wire from the house has white black red and ground hooked to a 30amp fuse?
You will have to check to make sure. Normally, with 4 wires, the black and red are both power for 220. White for neutral and bare for ground. If you are only using one leg of it, you would use the black, white, bare ones and cap the red one. Someone may have used the 4 strand because they had it or 220 was planned but not done or both the red and black are hot. You should be able to tell in the panel. Do the red and black both connect to separate breakers or to one or is the red not connected?

There should be three wires attached to back of the alternator of a 66. You should have a black wire with a red stripe hooked to the GRD post, a black wire with a yellow stripe hooked to the BAT post and a white wire hooked to the FLD post. The black wire with the red stripe is the ground and splits off with one end bolting to the engine block on the same bolt that holds the negative battery cable to the block, the black wire with the yellow stripe goes to the hot side of the starter solenoid, and the white wire goes over to the F post on the voltage regulator.

Outside porch lamp has no box just two wires coming in black wires are tied and don't connect to fixture just the white wires what is going on here?
You would have to provide more info to be certain what your problem is. Typically a black and white wire would connect to the two wires on the light fixture. The fixture should also be controlled by a switch that "breaks" the black (Hot Wire) to turn off the fixture. If you have a volt meter you can see if there is 120Volts between the black and white wires with switch on. If there is a single white wire going to fixture (Neutral), where is the "black wires tied" to. Maybe one of the black wires has broken off the fixture.
