First some background...88 Dodge D100, has a 69 Dodge Charger 383(eventually going in my 71 Charger)
The previous owner was going to build a race truck, installed the 383/727/8-3/4 posi.
But, he used for some reason the old square style Alt by cut and welding the Alt brackets from the original small block, while driving recently, charging was dropping to 10-11.5 volts, V-reg right...not so fast, I first changed the Alt fuckery back to a 70-71 roundback correct alt, acted the same, so, I replaced the V-reg and gave it new connections and a good ground, same problem, plus it over charges, at idle, 12.3v, in gear at a stop, 10-11.5v, at higher rpm's get to 16v+. And the over charging also started immediately after alt change and before v-reg change but still acts the same with new v-reg
*
Now the bluetooth part, disconnect the V-reg, does the exact same thing. How the F is it charging?
*
Possible bad Alt?

Why a D100 on FBBO? 69 Dodge 383 Charger engine and going in my 71 Charger.
New battery, NOS never used v-reg, used 70-71 alt
