Good Morning;

I recently re- installed my 327 hooked everything back as was before but for some reason battery not charging. Already put new alternator and regulator in but still no change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Joe

Might start with checking the output of the ALT at the ALT.

Also, check ground.

Joe,,,, don't assume all new components are good. I replaced my voltage regulator last week, and although running voltage to the battery looked correct (14v), I went to take a spin yesterday, and the battery was dead !!! Had to pull the batt, charge it up, put the old VR back in, and now everythings working. I have to assume the new VR zapped my battery since that's the only change I made. Reason I replaced the old VR was because it was showing 15.5 v to the batt terminals. Do you still have the old VR to try ?? ( just a thought )
