OK fella's, I just changed from the original generator '64 Wagon, to a bosch alternator on my B18, it had the "tab" and the generator quit.
Now It is puting out 13.7 volts, and is keeping up just fine.... but somehow I ended up with a "draw", and if I leave the battery hooked up, it goes dead overnight(THATS A BIG BIG DRAW), I tried a different alternator(thought it might be bad brushes)and... same thing!
I followed IPD directions and hooked up the power lead from the starter to the
B+ on the alt. And as advised hooked up an extra lead to the battery to keep the glowing charging light away. so I unhooked the extra,to see if that was the problem. but it didn't fix it!!!

SO...HELP...



'64-WAGON,'63-WAGON,'66-122
