Re: [Chevelle-List] low volts part 2

Vernon,   Just to be sure I'd put the voltmeter directly on the alt's output lug.  If you car has the original harness, the wire that charges your battery could be corroded causing a lot of resistance between the alt and battery.   If I remember correctly, the alt has to send power through a lot of places before ever reaching the battery, such as the fuse box and instrument panel.   The best person I could recommend for you to talk to would be M.A.D. Enterprises http://www.madelectrical.com/  You should be able get an answer for all of your electrical questions and they won't even try to sell you anything.  They're very helpful. cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ ----- Original Message ----- From: vmckague To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 2:32 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] low volts part 2 Thanks for all the info guys. I have tried just about everything I can think of. Herb ,I tried a volt meter at the battery with the car running, same thing. One more question, does the charging system run through the fuse block? I have always had trouble with it as some of the connections are very rusty. I am thinking maybe that is where I'm getting to much resitance at a bad connection. ???  Thanks, Vernon 64 elky
