ok, so, am i supposed to have a charge light somewhere? I've got another alternator on now and now i am not getting power at all ever to the BW or the WB wires, and I have full time power at the White wire, key on, key off, full time 12 volts. any ideas to what is going on now?

i need a z with a rod knock cause my engine and tranny are the only good things on it. problem ism i need one in big island Hawaii. no craigslist Z's at all, not even a windshield wiper arm:(

fuel, carb adjustment, filter been changed... low power all the way or up hill or??

OK. So. I'm not as dumb so was beginning to think I was. fricken Napa sucks a big fat one. The new alt was bad. Out put voltage was 17 volts. I erupted it right the first time. A week later and allot of bus rides, have to order a new alternator from the main land for next week. 79 240zx it is. Thanks so much guys,

Pa. Three are no cabs, only buses, and I have been taking them miles to and from work and I know thus isn't that hard i'm either missing something or My car is.

OK, sorry. Right now, I have 12 volts at A and the battery terminal. I have a good ground at the alt and battery. The white wire is jumpered to the yellow wire and it has 12 volts all the time, key on and key off. The white/black wire is jumpered to the black and white wire and has no voltage ever. If I try and run a hot 12volt key on only wire to the WB wire it charges at 15volts and climbs to 17 when you rev the engine, causing the yellow wire to become a bit hot. Yellow going to to of T and WB go ing to the stem of the T connector. How that helps. I do apologize. I know cars and datsuns pretty well and i'm so frustrated with this ordeal. I have no internet sowith in 5 miles of my house and then i'm still stuck on my phone. Thanks for your patience,

Anybody have any ideas.

I didn't know they existed. Thanks, now I've got yet one more thing I Gotta get, after a wiring harness and complete brake overhaul.

clean, lube and tighten. If it's hard for you to turn it's harder for the speedometer cable.

Sounds to me like the diff, it's a good time to Change your fluid anyway right.

I'm still not Having any luck. When I hook up power to the S terminal the alt squeals a bit and my idle reduces, when I hook the white and yellow wires together nothing happens. Yesterday I connected the K to the battery and the wire started to melt. I guess the original wiring is done. Anyway to run new wiring and to what. I've been running just main neg and positive but I'm sure my time is limited and I leave for work at 7 am tomorrow. As luck has it my mothers car stranded me 60 miles from home cause her cars alternator went out. gremlins out to get me!

What if the white wire always has power as in my case it does and i'm not sure why. My poor car has had 38 years of rewiring by whom ever. I tried running a wire from ign to K and S straight to battery and it started smoking. Any advice. Did I miss something?

So simple when you knew which wires need to go where. going to buy a good volt meter now too. Thanks again!

Thanks guys. Going to the page now.

Just installed an internally reg alternator And I need to know how to by pass the old regulator. I will buy the"Dave guy"clip fix but I can't wait till it gets here a i'm stuck on the island and I start my nee job Monday. Any help would be really great. It's a rectangle, 5 wire connector. BW, W, WB, Y,B, GOING INTO regulator. Please please help. I'll literally be unemployed and homeless in a week if I done get this solved quick. Thanks

you are correct and my phone has issues here, or i have issues with it rather. btw. if you move to Hawaii do not sing a contract with Tmobile first. they suck here. sorry about the incoherent questions. im roaming usually so often i get dropped before i can get a message out. thanks for your help guys. i am a little over my head cause this is my daily driver and it should be a project car. ive owned several Datsuns mostly 510s but its been a long time since i messed with them and so far ive had more trouble with this one than all the rest combined. i dont see any wire coming out between the alt and regulator. the car has a holly after market pump and i disconnected the hot wire to it and my little light didnt go out. im on day two o fnot having to disconnect the battery just the lil 2 prong connector, which sparks pretty good when i remove it. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much. I'm on it.

So, my "new" 73 has a new master cylinder and the other day I found it a bit hard to stop. Peddle is rock hard. Pulled the vacuum line imagine bay side.n it let out a Lil wet vacuum noise. Cabin side I can hear a squishing release sound. The kicker is, i'm not losing fluid into master. In fact it's,very full. Any ideas?
