I replaced the 101 series engine in my Giulietta with a 105 block and had to replace my Lucas generator with a Bosch. I still have the Lucas voltage regulator which was in working order. I polarized the generator by briefly connecting the A and D posts on the regulator and got the expected spark. I wanted to keep the car positive ground.
When I start the car, the generator light stays on, and the voltage at the battery stays 12.8 no matter what the rpm.
I am thinking that the generator is not putting out any voltage/current and I need to take it out and have it rebuilt. Are there any in car tests I can do to verify that is the problem, as removing the generator is not an easy task at this point.
Thanks for any help
