I’d agree with you all. This was my dad’s and he made some changes so I am running with his past decisions. Crossing my fingers and hoping a new alternator will solve my headaches.

I measured voltage across the diodes and get roughly 0.5 volts BOTH ways. That sure seems like bad diodes and the likely gremlin under my hood. Kinda sad because it’s a 4 year old Nu-Rex 12V. Would’ve expected better quality from them.

At what point does it become non-parasitic. My 1930 Special Delivery has gremlins under the hood. If I leave my Nu-Rex 12V alternator connected I drain multiple volts from the battery in a matter of hours. Bad diode(s)? Bad regulator? Any suggestions from the sages in here?
