I have a square back Alternator. One Green field wire coming from the mechnical voltate regulator. Yes, I have one small wire external ground wire that is connected from male ground connector on the alternator to the alternator case it self. Hope that helps..
another check would be the terminals on the back of the ammeter. I had a similar situation and the power cut off to the entire car, engine and all. A solder connection on the back post of the ammeter failed becoming loose. almost like an on/off switch. I'd jiggle the connection and power would...
Check your voltage output at the alternator with the motor running. Mine reads between 13v and 14.5 volts consistently. make sure you have a good ground at the voltage regulator ( I am running a mechanical VR) with the firewall. I had a similar charging issure, and at this point it appears the...
I had a similiar problem. The first place to start is check the voltage at the battery with the motor at idle. It should be in the range of 13.5 to 14 votls. 2nd place is to check voltage (idle) at the alternator. you should get similiar numbers at the alternator. 3rd would be to check voltage...
After some diagonsistic testing, I found a voltage drop on the positive side from the alternator post to the + post of the battery. I started tracing the + side of the system. first junction I came to was the starter relay. The connection was loose, poor ground I assume, I cleaned the mating...
How do my numbers look? Within specs? So today I installed a solid state voltage regulator.
A. Start up; Pre test drive, Idle 900 rpm's
1. Voltage at battery 13.47
2. Voltage at alternator= 15.29
3. Voltage at connected volt meter inside car 14.05
B. Test Drive: 20 minutes. Outdoor Washington...
Thank you. I still have the mechanical voltage regulator installed, and the case is is most definately grounded, I have checked that. I have not installed the Solid State regualtor yet. I adujsted the spring tension (down) on the mechanical regulator today, at Idle idle it was 14 volts, but at...
Yes, the battery is one year old. I had the ammeter replaced at the same time, and the entire charging system checked. I've gone thru 2 regulators at the fuseable link wire. Inferior parts may be the cause. the only other electrical demand I have added is an electric choke and oil pressure guage.
I purchased a Solid State Voltage Regulator from Year One (part #346) for my 69 R/T Coronet. I am currently using a grounded brush alternator, stock ignition, points, condenser, ignition coil. Has any one used or switched to this voltage regulator or solid state regulator? is it compatible with...
