Good News Good News!! hehe
The other alternator was not self exciting...mine was wired internally for that. I had it rebuilt for $40 and its now a 130 amp rather than a 60 amp and has new brushes and voltage reg.
So I took the other one back.
Problem solved, just got back from the test drive!! Whooo hoo!!
I better be quiet or Murphy will hear me this time!! hah
