So i ran into a couple snags trying to directly connect my stator/alternator to the R/R. Both harness ends are male and there is a extra blue wire coming from the stator, connected to the oil pressure termination.
So i made a few female to female quick connect connectors to marry both stator/alternator and R/R. For now i can plug the blue (oil) wire into the sub harness by its self?
Anyway, wile i was waiting, I was curious to see if my stock regulator and rectifier would give me a different results after installing the Ricks unit. Come to find I have the exact same results with my stock R/R units. no further rise in voltage after I hit 12.8 volts @ 4000 RPM or higher. Idle is at 11.6. I also blew my main 15A fuse while testing this out yesterday.
Which leads me to believe I may be dealing with another whole issues, a short somewhere. But I could be wrong. Should I continue to marry the stator/alternator or hunt a short down?
