Alternator questions

I was driving my project 68 Mustang GT 390 the other day and the alternator light came on out of nowhere. I tested the system to the best of my ability and determined that it was not charging.

My tech suggested a new alternator, so a quick trip to NAPA and a acquired one. As usual with electrical problems, the thing is never the thing. He then suggested a new regulator which I purchased and he installed.

Now the light is still on, but very dim, not the bright light it was when it came on. It is the same dimness whether the car is running or the key in just the "on" position.

The battery is still not charging.

Any help or suggestions with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

 I'd have tested the regulator & cables, first. Read these... -- Mr F, 12/12/2004
