I noticed that my alternator was not charging, after noting that it was charging only a day or two before. It tested bad in an off-the-car test. I replaced it. I still saw no charging. I installed a new regulator. It still isn't charging. The battery holds a charge well when I pump it up with a charger. I don't even know where to start. Suggestions? With the regulator was a note saying NOT to try to polarize it. I'm not even certain what that means. I'm a little puzzled by the new alternator. The old one has a heavy output screw terminal near the top and what I assume is the field terminal lug at the bottom. This one also has an upper lug similar to the lower one. Can anyone please explain the extra terminal? Thanks RK |

The alternator you got, is a "dual Field" unit, for the later cars/trucks. It will work on the early single field wire cars, by conecting the "extra" terminal to ground. |
