diode is in. ive read that i needed to put in a charge light or a bulb just to drop the voltage to kick in the alternator.

hey guys. i recently installed a new 280zx alternator and redid the wiring at the voltage regulator plug. my voltmeter shows a constant 12.05 volts right after start up and only 13.98 when i rev it past 3500. seems it only kick in after reving it high. after i rev it high the alternator will stay engaged with a constant 13.98v. was wondering if this is normal or if something is not working correctly.

well that was helpful... anyone who actually has a 260 want to chime in on the wiring/hardware differences? need help concerning the fuel pump relay no longer getting a 12v signal off the regulator. can i just splice that into the n terminal of the alternator as intended from the factory?

hey guys, ive been searching the internet intensively for the past few weeks on a 280zx alt upgrade for a late year 260z. ive only come across guides for 240 and 280 and even a early 260 but nothing about late build 260. with the fuel pump interlock and seatbelt interlock as well, im not sure how to go about the wiring. any help would be greatly appreciated!
