Wierd alternator troubles, now its not charging...

[6erWebb]

hhhh just noticed the electrical only section, would someone mind moving this please . sorry

I got this truck about two months ago. It is a 77 c10 shortbed, originally had a 6cyl in it with a column shift but has been swapped to a 94 lt1 with a carb and hei, and a th350 auto.

The voltage gauge always freaked me out. Upon start up the gauge would read it wasnt charging and then when the rpms got above 18 or so it would jump up. Lights would get brighter, it really wasnt chargin before.

I swapped it for another alt I had lying around but it made no difference.

Well tonight I go to bring the truck home from about 3 miles away, the entire way home it never started charging. Just sat at about 10 volts...


Any suggestions? Ive already checked for loose wires.

Any help is appreciated, -Webb
