67 coronet 4 door 383/727. As far as I know stock and anything that has been replaced is "oem equivalent " from parts store.
Replaced alternator after I took it in to be tested by parts store, had a dead rectifier. Installed new alternator. Only putting out 12v at idle and doesnt increase with rpm. Replaced regulator due to some corrosion coming out the back side, thought maybe the internal relay got stuck. Still no charge, car dies as soon as I pull the pos cable off the battery.
I checked resistance to the reg ground and the battery and got 0.5 ohm. Going to check the chassis ground and possibly run a new one. Engine ground is good 00ohm. Would half an ohm on the ground side cause a no charge issue?
Side note, pretty sure my battery is in the early parts of having a internal short thanks to discharging a couple too many times. Wires as I checked are low ohm, less than 0.3 across any given wire.
I know theres details I'm forgetting so please ask for what would help and I'll get an answer as I can
