Ok, I will spend some time looking for my voltmeter today. Thanks for clearing that up. I just figured since the wiring looked different from the different tech articles I was checking, maybe the PO wired it up wrong and no juice was getting to the battery.
One other thought now, ha hmm....
Since the only wire coming out of my alternator goes through this little ceramic block that you guys say reduces the voltage to 6 volts, does this mean my battery is trying to charge at 6 volts??????
