Just installed a new Denso Alternator with a Charging Post and three spades for 12 Volt reference (sense), Ignition and Lamp. When looking at the face of the plug for the three spades, the ignition is the one on the far left, the sense is on the top and the lamp is on the far right...is this correct? I have the Charging wire straight to the starter relay as well as the sense wire, and the ignition wire is coming from the same source that supplied the old voltage regulator.

When I start the car the volt meter shows 12 volts, no more no less. What am I doing wrong?
