one wire Alternator and voltage regulator question
Need WAAAAAY more info.
There are many types of alternators
- Single field wire round back
- Double field wire round back
- Single field wire square back(actually a double field wire with one of the field wires grounded)
- Double field wire square back
There are also other alternators which are refered to a single wire (GM) that only have the one wire to the battery, no field wires.
So from what you have stated I have no idea what alternator you have and have no idea what alternator you should have AND have no idea what regulator you have.
- What year is your car
- What modle is your car
- What engine is in your car
- What modifications have been done to the electrical system
- Post photos of the current alternator
- Post photos of your old alternator
- Post photos of your regulator
- Measure the voltage at the battery with the engine off
- Measure voltage at the battery with the engine on
