Default Re: Project: Hot rodding a 69 Nova

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr70</div><div class="ubbcode-body">[quote=Bill Rose]The regulator is now working. My fault. You guys were right. There are 2 ground wires in the front light harness, near the left side headlight. One should go to one of the 3 screws that hold the reg to the fire wall. I had them both on the horn relay screw. I have 14.6 volts now. It is a new Delco reg, but this one is working fine, if it's grounded correctly. </div></div>


This may be the reason my Nova isn't charging enough to run the lights very long after dark. I'm fine all day long but night driving is killing the battery. I had both of those grounds fastened to the core support. I'm assuming one fastens to the voltage regulator and the other to the horn relay? I had the Alternator tested and have a new Voltage regulator and new horn relay...
