When I re-installed the alternator and put in the new harness and it still didn't charge.........I called Holley and asked if I could order a new regulator just to see if that was the issue......I was told they don't sell replacement parts......So.... I ordered a new Alternator.....Should be here tomorrow...Just want the problem to go away as I am sick of this simple problem that is so complicated..Got my fingers crossed
Is the Holley stuff proprietary & not GM late model based so you could use a local parts store alternator or regulator?
