New alternater & voltage reg - not charging

Ken71Twister said

After trying a new voltage regulator today - the store that sold me the alternator is trying now to locate an alternator with two field connectors. The only voltage regulator listed for my car shows a diagram of an alternator with two field connections - yet alternators listed for my car have both one and two field connections.

Hopefully - I'll be able to trade up to an alternator with two connections.

/6 Matt seems to have gone through this same deal. This is quite simply a problem with Bullshit parts "stores" which have gotten so corporateized--and computerized that they don't know WTF they are doing. This should not be guesswork (on their part.) This stuff has been around for a very long time now, and is "set in stone."

Hell even NAPA is AFU. Some time ago I tried to buy a brush set for a squareback alternator, and there should only be ONE part no so far as I know. I went through THREE of the same part no, but none of 'em were correct, and worse, were not the same betwixt the three!!!! I finally managed to rob some pieces out of one brush set and mixed in with another, then turned the other two in as "defective."

Can you IMAGINE what it'll be like when the 3rd gen. hemis are 40 years old? 'Course, I won't be here.
