Lots of great advice so far! thanks! Here's what I have so far...
It's an AC Delco... It looks brand new, in fact, found a receipt for
it... less than 12 months old by the receipt, so it is brand new, but I
tested it anyway... 14V under load and works perfectly. I have it
mounted in a early '67 on the right side. I have a ground wire run to
the grounding post on the alternator. The old primary wire for the
original alternator is run to the positive post on the new alternator.
With all this connected and working, I fired up the car and revved to 2K
RPM... moved it up to 2500 and got a solid 3V on the multimeter. 3K-5K
didn't produce any different results, it remained at 3V. Hope this
helps anyone thinking on this problem... I'll continue working on it
some more tonight... Aren't these Delco conversions fun??? :)
