He put it on their machine and spun it and got about 14 volts...had to connect F and R terminals. He said it was internally regulated.
Also, the truck has aftermarket auto meter gauges with a volt gauge so it won't be going through an ammeter.
Was putting in a new battery cable and the bakelite or whatever it is on the starter solenoid was broken and when I touched it it fell apart so I have another issue before I can even try wiring and testing the alternator.
Gotta love those old trucks...
