Charging Issues,

I pulled the field wire and no charge.

How do I ensure the ground is good? Two bolts into the firewall holding the mount and then the ground wire to the alternator.

We took the cover off of the new regulator and it did not appear that the "points" arm was moving when the key was turned on or when starting. Not sure if that means anything. We tried manually closing the "points" in the box, when we did that there was no charge at all.

What is a 1 wire alternator?

Thanx for responding and helping me out, much appreciated. I am not electrically inclined. More like declined.
