I removed the regulator to look at how the brushes were wearing, and neither brush is flush agains the commutator. One of them is in contact barely on one edge, and the other looks like it's almost not touching anything.

There are a couple of grooves on the commutator where the previous brushes were riding, and I thought the new brushes would just fit into those grooves and work fine. Apparently not.

I may be looking at a new alternator now......
