Have you checked output with a voltmeter directly at the alternator
terminals?
I have encountered several NAPA alternators defective out of the box for
various reasons--bad bearings and faulty regulators. I think the term "NAPA

refers only to the length of the guarantee as opposed to the quality of
workmanship employed in the rebuilding process.
I have a Leece-Neville (Prestolite) alternator on my BN1 that I like very
much--it has an external regulator.
