My Volt gauge is out, meaning its constantly zero. I was Thinking it has to be the internal Voltage Regulator inside the alternator. That make sense at all.

TRYING TO GAUGE THE PROBLEM


NO.
We’re gonna assume the rest of
the car is OK since you didn’t mention
anything. Now, , , , , , , your voltmeter
is defective/disconnected from the circuit.
.
Happy Racing !

they’d be going backwards -

Re: TRYING TO GAUGE THE PROBLEM

im going to replace the heater core in a couple days ill check the circuit with a volt meter external display, i heard the resistors can blow when an external grounding of a secondary battery or a failed alternator faliure, i thought it was the differences of the circuitry that blew the circuit the the voltmeter in dash. the Upon checking the diagrams of the two different alternator i came to notice they completely different, but ill find out for sure when i pull the dash. (83' alt compared to 85'
