in nearly a week of fooling with it, the battery is still at 12.4v. This is getting very confusing. It doesn't seem to be charging, but yet my battery isn't being depleted. I'm driving all over town with my fingers crossed, but it just keeps on going. This is very strange.

My battery terminals looked suspect, so replaced them, and I greased up everything on the generator. There's now 1.9V coming across D+ to DF (goes up on acceleration), but never do I see a 13 on the multimeter.

The other thing I don't understand is that when I test the D+ to the B+ terminals on the regulator it reads 10V and when I accelerate, it drops DOWN to around 8V.

I suppose I've resolved myself to the alternator upgrade, but now its just the principle of the thing. I just can't figure out what the heck is going on with the generator/regulator (or what would have happened in a year that made them go bad).
