I have a 71 FJ-40 with a 351W and a np435. I just finished puting it together and now the alternator isnt charging the battery. I have a brand new alternator and external voltage regulator. Acording to 2 different repair manuals i am 99% sure that i have everything wired corectly but the alternator still doesnt seem to be doing anything. i have to drive it to the shop tomorow so i can put some exhaust on it so i have to figure this out ASAP.

Thanks Michael

Whats the voltage at the batt at say 200 rpm, should be around 15v.
Does it die when ya disconnect the batt?
