I started the engine and had it running. Removed both wires from the Regulator. Plus the small wire from the...
I will chk all voltages and post a diagram to incl voltage readouts. Perhaps that will clarify what I have .. ( I'm a visual thinker more than verbal ).
I Replaced all of the cables with new, cleaned up that Power Dist Box and the collective ground next to it. The New Alt regulator has no lights. However I was able to Start & Drive for 170 Miles ... on the freeway so must be getting some voltage... I hope. Gauges that read incorrectly / bad are...
