Bob, No have not received any PMs. You have not answered the question regarding if you have battery power or not at the alternator. Sometimes when alternators are fitted in place of generators the original heavy armature wire on the gen is used as a power wire and it is moved off the A terminal on the regulator on to the B terminal on the regulator thereby supplying the alternator with a battery connection. This saves disturbing any other wiring on the car and keeps the ammeter (If it has one) in the circuit. Does your car have an ammeter or a battery gauge (voltmeter) in the dash. If you run a new heavy wire from the alternator to the battery side of the starter solenoid then your ammeter will not show any charge. If it has a battery gauge (voltmeter) then it should climb into the green zone with engine revved up. If you cant answer these questions then it is a bit hard for me to help you. Regards, Kevin.
