Charging help needed please

You may want to check if the regulator is functioning properly. Even new ones may be out of adjustment and cause issues.
And be sure it's a Ford one. GM won't work.

There is a correct procedure for testing generator charging systems. The voltage regulator cant be tested or adjusted unless the generator has the correct voltage output. Establish that the generator is good first and if it is then the regulator can be tested, adjusted or repaired if required. Most GM systems operate in a field to ground control circuit through the regulator. Most Ford systems operate in a field to generator or armature control circuit. There are some exceptions to that.
