Jim
    Glad you got to the Root of your charging problem.
=20
I use to have mostly problems with my VR.  I had to run with the cover =
off
and every now and again I would have to clear the points in the VR to =
get
voltage.
I installed a volt meter under the dash so I could keep better track of =
what
was going on with the charging system.
=20
Coming home from the TE/AE United in 1998, the generator gave up.  =
Mostly
the brushes were worn and I had to use a hammer on the generator about =
every
50 miles to keep the charge going.  The generator needed complete =
rebuild by
the time I got home.
=20
That is when I really started thinking about converting to an alternator
system.  It took several years for me to organize the parts and come up =
with
an install plan but I did come up with a fairly easy install plan; in =
case
your interested.

Hi Listers
=20
If you recall I was experiencing some problems with my charging system. =
My
first guess was a problem with the Voltage regulator since I have had
problems in the past. I switched out a couple different regulators, but =
that
did not correct the problem. I then turned to the generator and had it =
bench
tested...it bench-tested OK. So then I turned to the
wiring/grounds/connections. After a lot of fiddling still no charging. =
So I
went back to the generator and had it rebuilt despite the positive bench
test. That did it. The ignition warning lamp is off and I am getting a =
solid
14.5v @ 1500 rpm at the battery.
=20
Thanks to all who contributed input. It is always a big help.
