Hi Guys . Recently i've installed an CVF Racing Beast Serpentine Kit on my 66 Monaco 500 /w 440.With there 100 Amp 1 Wire chrome plated Alternator and Saginaw Pump.Also added an Cold Case Aluminium Radiator with dual Fans.I also did the underhood Ammeter Bypass and checked all the connections. I've deactivated the stock Voltage Regulator. The new Alt is internally regulated and self exciting. The Problem is it won't charge.Max 13V when idling. Is it possible that i have to excite the Alt after installing? If yes,did anyone know how to do it the right way.Maybe i have to excite it once, and then it will work. Or what else could be the problem. Bulkhead looks good. Headlights works. After charging the Battery 13.3 at Bat and Alt. Optima Yellow almost new
