Your welcome. Let us know the outcome.

Thanks will let you know. Im not sure they will test it for free here in Canada but I will try and see. Oh also sorry I mislead you , I have a two wire. I need to double check and make sure I have it wired correctly too. I have a feeling like well new to it I am sure to have done something wrong somewhere. I will let you know by the weekend for sure. Thanks again

I have to apply the K.I.S.S. principle in situations like this to keep from over thinking it. Hopefully it's something simple and cheap!!

 

[Kimberlyford]

Yes lol!

So I changed the alternator to another one from a chevette motor and it is not charging and working great. The wires did need to be switched differently as well. It痴 working great. It also seems to take a charge and be holding it. Now I知 changing out the fluids as who knows when if ever they were done. Thanks for the replies Richard. Sometimes it痴 easier if you just sit and think for a moment or two.

The older I get, the more I have to do that.

Glad you got it working. Good job on not giving up.

Some alternators need to be exited to start working, there is a third terminal on them to do this. One way of doing this is to put an oil pressure idiot light switch in the circuit between the battery and the the alternator, as soon as the oil pressure up it turns off the exiciter current. The other way that I used on my 8n conversion is to open the throttle until the alternator exicited itself, somewhat easier than adding an additional circuit.
