Charging problems - 68 C3
When i start the engine the generator is charging. After a litte while or if I idle up it stops.
To the field of generator while charging is ca 9 V, but drops to 5-6 V when it stops chargin.
I have replaced the old components and have a brand new generator, regulator and battery. Still no change.
It there a generator light on the 68?? Someone told me that if this is broken I can get problems simular to mine. In my instruments there are only 2 red lights. Handbrake and High Beam lights.
Anyone??

Good description... http://temp.corvetteforum.net/classi...ternator.shtml
Was the diods of generator.
Was noisy when doing this test:
"Start the engine.
With a voltmeter connected to the battery and the RPM at approximately 1000-1200, jump from the F terminal of the regulator plug to the 3 (orange or red wire) terminal.
You should see an increase in voltage at the battery and hear the alternator working. If you hear a growling noise from the alternator you have either a bad diode or a bad stator winding."
Thanks... ;
