Ok. 1967 400 car. Total resto project- just finishing up, and having a problem that is absolutely killing me- the alternator simply won't "switch on" and create current. It's a new alternator, the factory harness is in great shape, the car runs and drives as normal, all gauges work, etc. I simply cannot get the car to charge the battery whatsoever. Also note, I've tried 3 different voltage regs. 2 of which are brand new. Still No luck!

Additional info:

1. I know what you're thinking. Bad ground. And in most cases you'd be right. Before you read on, please be aware that yes, i have checked, rechecked, and triple checked all grounds and each of the individual wiring for poor or incorrect connection. Something else is going on here.
2. Brand new reman alternator checked out fine on the tester. Granted yes, it's Oreilley's but I watched the test 3 times with my own eyes, and each time it passed.
3. According to the standard '67 wiring diagram that is sold everywhere, the pinout on the 4 pole Voltage Regulator is as follows: 1. (F) Field, blue wire. 2. Armature wire, black/white. 3. Red, 12v straight to the junction block. 4. Accessory circuit, straight to the fuse box- This wire also hits the back of the idiot lamp.

Results of voltmeter probing:

1. Static battery voltage 11.68v
2. Continuity between blue wire at terminal 1 of the voltage reg and the blue wire at alternator 2 pin plug.
3. Continuity between black/white wire at terminal 2 of the voltage reg and black/white at alternator 2 pin plug.
4. Pin 3 at regulator harness reads 11. 68v at all times. Aka "constant hot".
5. Pin 4 at regulator harness reads 11.68v and it turns on and off with accessory/key.
6. 12v lug on alternator tests continuous with 12v battery terminal.
7. Ground lug on alternator tests continuous with ground on chassis.

Indications: All wires test exactly as shown in the diagram, as they should. The alternator will just not create voltage increase. Is there a way to test the alternator's output on the car, while running? Can I jump a wire to another wire and see if the [censored] alternator will even make power?

I have seen another "Delcotron" diagram that seems to show a slightly different pinout. They say that the #4 pin should flow through a resistance wire from the ignition circuit. I see no such resistance wire in my factory harness?? What's that all about? It's also not shown in the wiring diagram that everyone sells for the 67's online.

I REALLY need help on this one guys...I spent 15 years as a master 12v alarm installer- and this one has me by the @#$lls I'm afraid.......
