Thanks for the reply.

I just went out and tried it and it looks like my alternator isn't charging. Do I use the amps readout or volatage on the volt meter? Also, do I keep the big battery wire hooked up to the alternator when doing this test?

I have keyed on going to both the regulator(flat style), and to the one field on the alternator (does it matter which field connection?). I have a ground strap going from the engine to the firewall and connecting on the regulator.
