well, i think i did something wrong when i wired my car. looking for opinions on if you think i'm right.

when i ran the wires for the alternator field terminals, i split off of the main "alt exciter" wire and ran one to the VR and one to one terminal on the alternator, then a second wire from the other field terminal to the VR. currently not charging the battery. alternator tested fine.

so, i re-read the instructions and it says to run the alt exciter wire all the way to the alternator, then from the alternator back to the VR. i think that's my problem. idk why i did it the other way - must have measured and not had enough wire. if i did mess it up, guess i should've just dug into my supply of wire and ran the second field-VR wire in a different color, huh?

thanks all
