Default Re: Overcharging alternator and buzzing voltage regulator
I’ve read that the one wire alternator is a major time saver. However, today I actually managed to get the original voltage regulator back in working order! 12.7 volts at idle, 13.5 volts around 1500 RPM, and goes about as high as 15 volts when I’m really giving it gas. Everything seems okay for now. If this doesn’t last, I’ll convert to the one wire alternator.
