saving money and having women is like trying to hold lava with youre bare hands , it cant be done without excrusiating pain

daverod · 07-25-2011, 09:46 PM

Is my reg. missing one wire? It seems like there is a spot for one more wire under it? My batt. has been going dead every sinse my crash. I put on a new alt. and a new reg. not sure I hooked it up right. Does the alt get a ground?

watahyahknow · 07-25-2011, 11:03 PM

i had that happen once couldnt find where the power whent untill i noticed the trunk light stayed on draining the battery

bubba327 · 07-25-2011, 11:38 PM

Something does not look right , That kinda looks like a internally regulated alternator...
See if you can find a wiring diagram in the Electrical FAQ section.
Check the output with a DC meter to see if It is charging.

Strodder · 07-26-2011, 10:27 AM

3 Wire alternators need a charging warning light to excite the alternator and get it to charge. Without that light it won't charge correctly. Does it have a internal regulator? If so you don't need that external one.

Strodder · 07-26-2011, 10:29 AM

BTW the alternator is grounded by the mount.

I was wondering because it had a ground screw but I did'nt have any wire to hook it to.

It's external.

Strodder · 07-26-2011, 09:28 PM

Looks like the ground goes to the base of the regulator.

daverod · 07-27-2011, 12:37 AM

I grounded the reg to the rad. support thats the way it was. What's confussing me is on the inside or bottom of the reg. (the side facing the rad support) there is a connection for a wire. I don't know if it's just extra or if somthing needs to be hooked up to it. I think it might just be normal?

ruffrida2005 · 07-26-2011, 04:03 PM

Why haven't you used that harness that I gave you?

daverod · 07-26-2011, 07:50 PM

I'm going to use it on my 66 or maybe my 52.
