Speaking of alternator problems... I am STILL having problems with my
alternator! I have attempted to use the GM alt conversion (following the
tips by Tom Walter) and finally swapped out with a confirmed good
alternator/voltage reg from a 68 1600... Nothing! I see the 12 volts of
the battery, but nothing is charging! I had the GM checked out and tested
the 68's alt while in the 68... it cranked out a cool 14- 15 volts..
Any suggestions? I have to be up and running by the 18th of this month,
or there are gonna be a bunch of Colorado roadster maniacs coming to hurt me
for missing yet another roadster meeting!! Thanks in advance!
