1976 Ford Torino alternator

What module which fender?

I apologize for my lack of expertise in that particular area. But the module looks exactly like that one. Not really sure what you mean by the gromet. But please don't give up on me. I really do appreciate the help and would really like to figure this thing out. I do have a volt meter. If that would help us at all

Any luck with the wiring diagram?

Ok. All wires are connected to their correct corresponding locations. The regulator is actually fairly new, I replaced it not too long ago while after replacing the first two alternators. I cleaned the connections while I was checking the wires as well. Also, not sure if it is worth mentioning but there are two yellow wires coming out of the A terminal, one tied in with battery as you described and the other is connected to cylinder shaped device located directly beneath the regulator

now for the bad news. I think I may have screwed something up while checking the wires. Accidentally created a very very brief spark on the back of the alternator with the stator wire and now the alternator is charging between 15.8 and 16 and if I remember correctly. That's a little high. Man i'm an idiot (metal screwdriver)

Ok, the regulator is the same as in the pic. I actually already replaced the alternator and regulator. With regulator connected it reads 13.5. Disconnected it reads about 12.3 (atlernator not charging) in the past this was pretty much the same until the alternator prett much burned up and quit working. It seems to be charging and I can drive it all day until it rains and I have to use the wipers or at night when I have to turn the lights on. There is another issue that i'm not sure is related but I suppose I should go ahead and mention it. After driving the car for while and it is good and warm, if I turn the car off and then try to start it back up the engine turns over very slowly as if the battery is drained. Never had a volt meter on me when it happened so I don't know if the battery was weak or if there is something wrong with the engine that makes it harder to turn over when warm and that in itself drains the battery. What role does the starter play in the charging system? . Do you have any idea where I could find a wiring diagram for the wires going to the instrument cluster so I could attempt to trace those wires out and hook up the gauges individually?. And have you found out anything about the alt indicator light?

Alternator checked out fine. I checked out the voltage on my landrover to compare it to the readings I was getting from the torino and the landrover was reading 13.6 to 13.7 at idle which is about the same as the torino

We may be on to something here. Checked the voltage drop when starting. With car already warm. The first time it dropped below ten for a split second before starting so I let it run for about 3 or 4 more minutes. Then cut if off and immediately tried to start it again and the volts dropped into the 8's and engine turned very slowly

i don't know about the condition of the cables at the starter but I replaced both positive and negative battery cables with brand new ones and connectors about a year ago. The starter was also replaced about a year or so ago
