Hi Bill,
I did not get a chance to check one of my mopars at home yet, but I'll do it tonite.
To recap:
We are dealing with a three wire mopar alternator (output, field1, field2).
We are dealing with an electronic regulator with a triangle plug.
This is installed in a 60-something mopar...
The electronic regulator did not come in this vehicle and you will not find a wiring shematic for this system.
I believe you need two wires from the regulator to the alternator, one is a full battery voltage, the other is a 'floating ground' that controls voltage, the ground floats up as the battery voltage increases and thus reduces the charge rate.
How is the wiring harness from the regulator to the alternator hooked up now?
