good to see another feller ontarian! anywho, have you checked the charging voltage after you put the new alt on? did you change the alt cuz the light was on? did you change the voltage regulator? if you give a lil more info, it would be better

The alternator is still not charging the battery right? I think it's gotta be either wiring or fuseable links.

Just thought of this, how about a 3G swap? That would solve all your problems.

From my limited experience with 1G alternators, I'd throw a regulator at it anyway - they're cheap.

Hey, I finally found it. Barring any errors that no one has caught, this should be a simplified schematic for the 1G alternator circuitry:




And for if/when you decide to upgrade to a later style, here are the diagrams for the 2G (not a highly recommended swap) and the 3G (VERY highly recommended and popular swap).
