Ok so having issues charging. quick run down:
charged battery- reads 13.5- turn key on voltage dropped real quick- start engine reads 11.7-rev to around 3-5k (no tach) reads 12.15- turn off reads 12.4
drove down the black and it lights dim.
Now I know where the brushes are pick up stator/rotor reg/rec.
What Im unsure of is how to test these and what I am looking for. Where exactly do I put my meter leads and what does the object look like since i dont know what slip rings look like or where on the brushes i should touch. Where on the rotor i should touch, how big my brushes should be and where i measure from (guessing length). What else should i test and how? key on or off? am i testing ohms or voltage? If anyone has some time to take pics of them doing it or pics of the components with arrows or something pointing at it thatd work too. Hope ya guys can help me out im sick of this project lol.
Also its an 81 reg/rec combo ignitor box looks funny? got it this way. chopped wiring too.
