Update :) I did as you said above (where do I have power and not). I found the problem for the car not charging. On the wire for the output stud there was a 70A fuse that has blown.. See photo. Is it normal to have a fuse on this wire? How could It have blown?

A little update. I still haven't done the last measureing. But I needed to move my car to day. And I thought it was a good time to try out the new alternator. Hooked It up and jump started the car. I noticed the car didnt charge with the new one either.. :\ Parked and stopped the car. After...

Anyone?

Haven't been able to do this last measureing. I'm at work in the norwegian sea atm. And by the time I get home, I think I have recived my new alternator. But will be performing this test. Great way to learn. Instead of replacing it with the new one and forget about it. Thanks alot for all the...

Hi! I'm planning to replace the heater core on my 67 dodge dart GT next weekend, and have a few questions. Do I have to bleed the system aften replacing it? If so, what is the proper way to do this? I have a non-factory radiator, and I think theres no bleeding skrew. Can i just leave the top...

Can't see any spark when I hook it up. Does that mean the alternator is completely dead?

I have performed the test now. I charged my battery until it measured 12.6v. Started the car. Had It running for awhile and went to measure on the battery. It measured 11.2v. Had a buddy to rev the engine a bit, but theres no change in voltage. few seconds later it dropps down to 11v. This means...

Do you have any thoughts on how mutch rpm is to mutch? You see, It's verry cold here in Norway atm. And when I start my car i have to hold the throttle for a little (around 1200rpm) until the engine gets abit varmed up. If I don't do so, the car will stop. Just want to be on the safe side, so I...

Ok, thanks. I will try this tomorrow. One more question. The alternator is also connected to that stud, does i matter? Btw, thanks alot for the help!

Yes, there was a box on the back of the alternator (I removed this like you said). I'll look under the dash tomorrow for the VR. But in case I still don't find anything, is there any other way I can wire the last brush to perform the test?

Yes, the car has been rewired. I did google the VR before I went out looking. But can't find. where is it usally mounted? maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Here's some pic's. Don't know if they helps.

I've grounded one of the brushes to the alternator housing. But I can't fint the starter relay... Where is this mounted? Could It be I don't have one?

I am reading. Problem is understanding.. Could some of you post a pic of the wiring? That would really help understanding your guide. I don't have the factory voltage regulator, only the stuff mounted on the back of my alternator.

Any thoughts on this?

Ok, new 60A alternator ordered :-) But one more question for you. Just for fun I'm trying to open the old one. I have unskewed the 3 skrews and pulled the pulley off. But I can't separate the two halfes. It feels loose, but It seems like something is holding It back.. Is the two halfes like the...
