High volts

OK, tried the following to no effect:

Replaced Alternator: still puts out 15.4V at the post still shows 14.4-14.5V at the excite wire

Attached chassis to engine ground-no change anywhere

Checked resistance from VR to chassis-2.8 ohms

Jumping VR housing to battery had no effect

Cleaned all ground connections...if anything, my voltage went up!

Any other ideas? Should I find a way to jump the alternator charge wire over to the ignition wire to induce the volts to over 14.5V?
