New battery, new voltage regulator and new alternator. Ran all new wires. On my 3rd alt. Which all tested good. Any ideas? I'm at a complete loss.

Re: get'n no charge

Holy crap!! Found the problem. My volt meter hasn'tbeen hooked up in years, never was an issue with the old alternator. Hooked that sucker up and now I'm pushing close to 14 volts. Read something about resistance wire and figured what the heck, can't hurt.

I held my tongue for longer than my 'normal' limit, but now just gotta say it: Don't you just get a charge from fixing a problem yourself?
