I recently converted (on a '50 3100, 12 volt) my one-wire alternator to three-wire per instructions I read here and on the internet (connect one of the prongs of the internal regulator to the battery bolt on the alternator, the other regulator prong to an alt. dash light).
However, I still have to GREATLY rev the engine to get the alternator to turn on. Of course, a 3-wire hook-up is supposed to turn on the alternator immediately, without the engine rev.
Any suggestions on why I still have to rev the engine to turn on the alternator? And, yes, the battery connection is connected correctly to the internal regulator.
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.
Regards,
Richard
