just double checking if alternator is not charging, you can test by putting a jumper from the batt post to the field. that should put it in full charge, correct? this does have the 2 field terminals so should it matter which one? i tried both with no success.

I always pulled a batt cable off, if the alt is working, the car stays running. If it dies, it''s not.

I'm glad you brought this up Mac. It looks like I'm having the same problem with my Barracuda so now I know what to try to figure it out! :thumbsup:
