My local overhaul man says all its internal goodies are just fine and it is generating all it is supposed to do. Hummm, maybe its my wiring? Here's they current setup. (pun intended) 1. I have the "s" wire ("R" on other alternators), the field wire, powered off the essential bus switched by the master switch. 2. The "L" wire runs a dashboard light to the essential bus too. 3. "B" wire runs to an alternator contactor, to a large fuse, to the battery. This contactor is grounded through a dash switch. In an ancient newsletter, Tracy showed a 'check relay' wired into the 'L' circuit which I do not have. My local man said my wiring should be okay, but we have no juice... what gives? Any suggestions, TIA Tommy James<><
