Hi all,
I am new to this site but am glad I registered! Here's my current problem, I have a 66 Charger 383 and was having overcharging problems and after replacing the engine wire harness (as a precaution but needed done anyway) I then saw that the alt. was putting out almost 16.5 volts and volt meter fluctuated from 3/4 to full. So before getting more problems and reading I decided the voltage regulator may not be working correctly (old points type). After reading some threads I replaced it with an autozone reg. #VR706 (which had signs of previously used but it was the only one available). Now volt meter goes from the middle to discharge...is this newly puchased reg.:headbang: bad? Thoughts...on how to test?
