More voltage regulator questions...
I was having probs with charging so I converted to an internal regulator set up. Thanks for all the previous posts concerning the wiring. However, I now get 13.8V at the rear of the alternator but only 13.05 at the battery (at idle, no load)...when I increase the RPM above about 1500 I blow a 30A fuse (placed, by the PO, where the fusable link used to reside). Any thoughts?

Re: More voltage regulator questions...
I can't really help you. I was getting 14.5 at the rear and 13.5 at the alt at idle. That fuse is going to blow way faster than a fusable link. A fusable link is made to heat up and cool down to a certain extent the fuse will blow quickly if more than 30amps is applied.

Check your wires the 30 year old wires could be badd causeing you not to get as much to the battery
