I think all 1600=E2=80=99s & 2L cars used the same alternator, so that shoul=
dn=E2=80=99t be a problem.
First unplug the harness from the voltage regulator. Is the alternator volta=
ge still high? If so you probably have a defective alternator or harness or t=
he connections to the alternator are incorrect.=20
If it is not high you have a defective regulator, it is not grounded or have=
wrong wiring between the alternator & regulator.=20
Something else to be sure is in place is the ground strap between the engine=
& body/frame. Where is your negative battery cable connected, engine or bod=
y/frame?

Thanks in advance.
