New alternater & voltage reg - not charging

Ken71Twister described the issue I am having to the "T." However, when I arc the two wires on the regulator, I still get no charge to the battery. I have the two field alternator. I've been down the same path with my diagnostics. I still have not figured out my problem.

I plan to go and try what 67Dart273 suggested. It doesn't seem this should be that complicated but it is. I am tempted to just go to a single wire alternator but I would have no clue what I should be hooking up where.

67Dart273, can you please describe how the chart you provided "Voltage Regulator Test" works? I mean I see the diagram, but how does this show how you're testing your regulator?


You probably should have started a new thread. First, let's get straight what you are working on? What year model, 69/ earlier, or 70/ later?

If you have the 70/ later system, jumpering the two regulator wires together will NOT cause it to charge.

And let's have details about what happened, and what you have done.
