Hi,
Im new to nissan and Nico. I resently bought a 1969 Datsun 521, and its one of the last of its kind here in norway. This has made my repaires expensive and difficult.
I just changed the alt, which worked well when i wired it directly to the battery, so i know it charges. I figured i had a bad volt reg, so i replaced it and removed the wire i had to the battery. Now when i turned the key the IGN light actually worked as a first, but when the engine started the light was flickering, and the new volt reg was smokeing. The volt output at battery with the engine off was 12.54v, with engine on it was only 11.92v so i know its not charging, its just frying my volt reg. Whats wrong!?! :P
This was suppose to be my new daily driver, but i keep running into problems, and this weekend i need a car and cant drive around on my 2 feet.
