    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    I removed the VR. It is now charging 14.5 VDC and it incrreases as I increase RPMs.

    OK ...I also measured the regulator resistance from ign to field poles and found the regulator has an open ...I have another regulator that shows a resisitance value other than infinity...

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    SO while it looks as if isolating the regulator solves the problem, it's hard to believe that 3 voltage regulators (2 new and one both solid state and analog) have gone bad...

    Grounded the regulator well, still 12v...going to look at the inside tomorrow...see if I can find another egulator too...

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    OK. I'll look at the regulator and make sure it is well grounded too...

    Maybe it is connected to I1, it has voltage in start and run...none in off.

    I ordereed an ammeter and am going to put one back in and replace the voltmeter

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    SO are both my regulators bad? is this common getting 3 bad regulators?
  22. gsoco

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    I bypassed to regulator and it does get 14v at the voltmeter...it increases to 16 if I rev it...

  24. gsoco

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    There is 12 v on both sides of the regulator...I am going to try bypassing it as you suggested...

    Hey charlie - No difference...
  27. gsoco

    62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

    true - 12 volts running

    Couple of questions. 1) what vehicle - 1962 Valiant 200, 170 /6 2) What style voltage regulator - The rectangular with a spade connector on one end, and a screw connection on the other end 3) What alternator - Stud and two spade terminals on the back 4) How did you bypass the ammeter? -...

    Could the voltmeter I added be draining the battery?

    OK. Checked running and just in ignition on. Always getting battery voltage everywhere. If I let it sit or drive... Battery drains...
