time to test the knowledge of this board. Here's the deal.
My winter project was to replace the fan and install a shroud, which led to an engine compartment detail. New painted walls, air cleaner valve covers, rad support paint, and general freshening. Got it all back together and the alt light came on.
Checked all connections grounds etc, still on.
Did some tests, pointed to voltage regulator. Replaced that 4 different times. No luck.
Tried a new alternator, no luck.
Tried jumping the reg plug, volts go to 18 at the battery.
Just got a repop autolite reg from NPD, and a new engine ground cable. Nothing...
I am stuck... Ideas?
About ready to give in and take it to the shop...
