hey guys i need some ideas on what possibly might be my problem here. i have a 1980 toyota pickup with a 20r in it. i have a new alternator and i replaced the voltage regulator. any ideas on whats happening?

 

what are the symptoms? whats the problems?

why did you replace the alt and voltage reg??

 

My alt isnt charging my battery so i thought it went out. went and got it checked and its charging 14 volts. my regulator had some bad wires so i replaced the whole thing. it still isnt wanting to charge my battery.

 

Are you sure you got the right alternator?

'81's and I'm assuming 80's as well originally didn't have a voltage regulator in the alternator (hence the external regulator).

I had a similar issue but found that the alternator was for an '86, and had an internal voltage regulator. I ended up having to use the connector from the external voltage regulator as a splice to charge the battery, bypassing the external regulator.
