Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Expect to get the word on the re-fix by Wednesday. Still puzzled over the lack of charging or any indication there of on the dash. Thought I wired everything just like my 65' Chevelle, which also has an old school external regulator system.
The only thing that seemed weird was the 2-pole plug that went into the back of the externally regulated alternator. The wires had the same color scheme (blue and gray) but were reversed in position from what my car has. I wired these two leads to what I thought was the correct lead in the old wire loom. They might be reversed - because I'm getting nothing through the big battery charging wire. Hope that's all it is. Any thoughts? Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
I'd check all the connections. If that don't do it, I'd consult the bible. Both of my trucks are converted to internaly regulated alternators so I can't look at it and tell ya.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Will do, Jason.
I was thinking of spending another five bucks and buying another plug for the back of this alternator - wire some leads to it and see which wire signals the alternator to charge. Failing that - I'll go back to the internally regulated alternator. Guess I could always save the external voltage regulator for the Chevelle, as it still has the original system. Then it's on to try to figure out why the horn stays on when plugged in and the turn signals stall when the brake is applied. Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Sounds like you have a real bad ground somewhere in your column..
Did the idiots that stole your rig bust the column?

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
With a huge screwdriver and a ball-peen hammer. Somehow they figured if they smashed it enough they could get their POS 3-speed linkage to work - in place of the automatic's linkage.
I can only put it down to tweeker logic.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Just picked the truck up at the shop. Brakes backed off and working fine. Yoke replaced (which should have been done in the first place), so there's no drip from the rear seal. They pulled the TH350 to see what the noise was - but everything appears to be perfect. It's a bit quieter, but I think I'm going to have to get used to the extra sound.
Mac.
