Will an alternator off a 93 work on the externally regulated 90? It was charging the 1st day I got it running, alternator only has maybe 10k miles on it. Swapped on a nicer looking regulator off the other 90, made sure its grounded, checked for loose wires. How does one test an alternator? Is there something else I should check?
Ended up having to rob the new starter off the 96 as well, couldn't get another 1/4 turn out of the old one boosting a new battery, starts instantly now. Direct wired the heater fan to a switch from the battery as switch and/or resistor not working, got the stereo working, got the cigar lighter working for gps as speedo quit working yesterday on test run to town to get fuel. Swapped the wheels back from the 96 as well. The front seal is leaking fairly bad as well, not as bad as the 96 tho, and the puddles are black, not blackish green lol. The rad and overflow stayed full on the 25 mile trip and it seemed to run good, so I'm holding off on the headgasket for now, and keep boost under 15ish. I'll take my engine crane and gasket with me to my buddys shop with a cement floor, much less headache. It's roadworthy for now except for the charging system lol. I forgot how nice it is to cruise at 75 mph with 3.07's and OD.
