Testing alternator

[beerhunter]

1986 manual should have only two wires, correct?
"I still showed a 12v draw from negative pole to the negative clamp."

I'm confused. You need a clamp on on inline Amp meter to measure Current draw. On one wire at a time! Voltage is always there(12V) but until you close a circuit no current(Amps). Parasitic draw is usually measured in milli-amps, from my experience.

Both plugs had 3 wires, and it all appeared standard. As far as I could tell it hasn't been altered, but possibly I have a crossover model, or maybe there was a mistake in the import paperwork.

I have an ammeter on order, and will re-test everything when it arrives.

Thanks
