Ok heres the story,
LT1 swap with the CS144 1 wire alt. It worked great untill the battery post inside the alt decided to come loose (they did not locktight the nut). I pulled it apart and reattached the nut and applied lock tight. I then installed new brushes just to be safe. Since then I have burned out 3 regulators. I just got a new one installed yesterday from a alt repair store. I hooked up the 1 exciter wire (yellow from the datsun harness), and a wire that goes directly to the battery. As soon as I turned the key I now have no charging yet again. Does this make any sense? Can I install an external regulator?
