Thanks guys for your replys... and thanks kentrodngun for the diagram. I'm stil trying to figure all this out. I got out there this evening with my multimeter and camera phone... I checked the voltage at the battery before cranking the eninge and after... It was 12.34v each time. Checked again at about 1500 rpm and still 12.34v. I checked the "B" connections on the back of the alternator ang got the same. So it looks like maybe the alternator is not working correctly right? One thing I havent tried yet..(just thought of it) is to remove the positive battery cable after it's started and check the voltage on the alternator...

Here's a couple of pictures of the regulator (I think?) front and back. The wire from the "F" on the alternator is connected to the "FIELD" side of the regulator... There is no other wires connected to the regulator though... That doesn't seem right to me at all! What's the silver box with all the wires connected to it?

Thanks again for all y'all's help!!
