My 66 cuda won't charge. What I've done thus far:
new voltage regulator (2)
new alternator
assurred grounds are clean and working with ohmmeter
checked fusable link it is good
battery and output voltage at alternator are the same
with field wire grounded to battery with jumper the best voltage from the alternator is 11.89
tried other varied tests from prior threads that were similar
What else can I check?
My thought is a bad alternator so I took it to O'Riley's and the only test that failed was the voltage regulator test which of course this alternator doesn't have built in.
The alternator is a 400-1006 60A neg ground from DV Electronics. The typical 2 pulley with the battery output and 2 field terminals.
The voltage regulator is a Master pro 2vr9.
Any suggestions are welcome. I've almost got this sweet reide ready for action.
