Alternator only giving 6 amps

By Steve M - 10/22/2003 3:40:50 AM; IP 209.115.87.2

I finally got my 390 in my 67 galaxie and it is draining my battery. I got it tested and they said it was only putting out 6 amps. They said it should be putting out 20-30 amps. Does it sound like I have something wired wrong, or I just lucked into a bad alternator when I got the motor? There was an extra lime green wire on the harness I didnt know what to do with, so I just taped it up.

This thread, so far...
