    Battery not charging

    Update -- I got a $10 voltage regulator pigtail from Napa and that fixed it. I know I had checked the green wire for resistance during my troubleshooting and it seemed OK. But it took some stabbing with the multimeter to get it to read and apparently it was bad. When I checked today, I was...

    Battery not charging

    I think I figured it out. I checked resistance on my blue and green wires from the alternator to the voltage regulator. I was sure I did this before. But now the green wire is bad. The blue wire was good, very low ohms. But the green wire was reading infinity or open at the voltage regulator. I...

    Battery not charging

    Hey guys. Just an update. I put on a new alternator and it's still not charging. I know the VR is good and grounded. I even tried it with two other voltage regulators I have that are good (before I got the new alternator) and that didn't work. I think I know the issue but not sure what it means...

    Battery not charging

    Thanks Bob. I have met John Borgen a couple of times at different car shows. He has some beautiful AARs and TAs. I didn't realize he had passed away. That's sad. He was a nice guy.

    Battery not charging

    Thanks Bob. It's externally regulated. Is there a way to test the diodes with the alternator either on the car or off the car?

    Battery not charging

    Sorry Bob. It's a 72 Roadrunner with an aftermarket Powermaster alternator that's about five years old

    Battery not charging

    Hello, before I yank my alternator and take it to some box auto parts store to be tested, here is the scenario My battery is only charging at 12.7 when running at increased RPM. The battery is good and will hold a charge. I am getting "same as battery" voltage at the alternator stud (high 12s)...

    Intermittent squealing

    I believe I figured it out (with some help from the guys over on FABO on a completely different topic thread I posted). I bought an aftermarket harmonic balancer and idiot me, I pulled the dust shield and felt "donut" off the old balancer and put the dust shield and a new donut on the new...

    Gasket sealer?

    I use cork gaskets, but I put a really thin layer of orange Permatex on the valve cover and put gasket in place. It never leaks

    Intermittent squealing

    I'm kind of hoping that happens for me. When I put everything back together, the squealing will be gone. I'll just be glad when the engine shop calls and tells me the motor is fine. That's all I care about. Anything else is no big deal

    Intermittent squealing

    Thanks, dadsbee. I do have a Holley so that might be it. What fixed yours? Was it a gasket, a vacuum hose?

    Intermittent squealing

    Here is an update. I pulled the motor and checked the main bearings. All good. Whatever is making that sound, it's 99% not bearings. I took engine to a well-known local machine shop in Western Pa. to get it checked over just to be sure and get some work done (since I already had it out of the...

    Intermittent squealing

    I've basically got the engine ready to pull. Hopefully, it looks OK

    Intermittent squealing

    Thanks dadsbee. I don't know what a bad front pump sounds like but the sound, at least to me, is clearly coming from the front of the engine. When it first happened, I had no doubt it was from the front of the engine. I hope you are right. If the front pump goes bad, can the sound travel...
