I started up the 78 Elk again today. The volt meter dropped to the orange line. Is there any part I need to check in the alternator or do I need to replace the alternator?
the one by itself should be a larger single red wire,that one.not the two smaller ones that are contained in a plastic plug.There's 3 wires connected to the alternator. Two are together and one by itself. Which one is the one I need to check?
So the single one is the one I need to check? If it's working properly, I should read 13 volts?the one by itself should be a larger single red wire,that one.not the two smaller ones that are contained in a plastic plug.
yes,it will be a large/single wire with a ring termineral crimped onto it and it should be attached to a stud via a small nut.anywhere from 13 volts or higher indicates a charging alternator.So the single one is the one I need to check? If it's working properly, I should read 13 volts?
