    Can someone please explain to me the correct way to wire up the 100a alternator I picked up.
    This is a link to Schucks that sells the alt. I picked it up from the JY and I can't get a 12v+ reading on the volt meter while the car is running. I have it hooked up to the voltage regulator the regular way, but it does not seem to be charging the battery.

    Here is the link.

    It should wire up the exact same way your old one came out. If your regulator bad? Did they sell you a defective alt?

    Your car is externally regulated right?

    Yeah the car is ext regulated. I had the alt checked and it was fine.
    I'm stumped. I guess the regulator could be bad.
