Actually, about the time I was getting ready to write that next installment, I had a little problem- - - -called a heart attack. Since that happened around 20 years ago, I guess it's time to get busy and write another chapter!

If you've got .3V residual voltage at the armature terminal, the generator "motors", and the wiring is good, replace the regulator and you should be good to go. There are plenty of Delco 12V regulators on Ebay, and some of them are definitely worth the money. There are two kinds of regulators for stovebolts- - - -"Delco" and "wrong!" Here's a tip- - - -an "aircraft" Delco regulator will work on a car or truck as long as it's a 12V negative ground unit. (Ground polarity is important). Those things are dirt cheap and they will have a lot less operating time than automotive units! When operating against a fully-charged battery, you should see 14 volts or more. 14.7 was the setting we used to shoot for, but only after being sure the battery was charged all the way. With a low battery, 13 to 13.5 volts is normal.
