Battery Charging System, Battery not charging Options

[Schmaz356]

I am building a 914-6 and I have an issue where the battery does not charge. Basically everything is new on the car (alternator, voltage regulator, battery & cables). The car runs fine but just will not charge the battery. I have checked the grounds on the body and at the transmission. The belt seems fine and is new. I pulled the battery and the regulator and brought it to a shop where they said it was putting out 14.2V using my regulator.
My Alternator wires are as follows;
Red from B+ to Starter
Black from DF to DF on the Regulator
Brown from D- to D- on Regulator
Blue from D+ to D+ on Regulator and then to the Dash Battery Light. (which is on all of the time)
Ground from D- to engine case.
When I put the system back together, I checked the continuity of each cable to assure myself it wasn't just a pulled connector or broken wire. When the car is running and reved to 2,000 RPM I still only get battery voltage.

Please help with any thoughts on what I should check next. Thanks.

You have to put a one way resistor into circuit
We did also in our conversion

I’ll try to pull my diagram today for the info

Not pointing this out to shame you, just the facts.

There is no such thing as a one way resistor. All resistors are are bi-directional.

Are you referring to a diode? Small black, round cylindrical package with a band on one end. Diodes only flow current in one direction. Could easily be mistaken for a resistor to anyone not intimately familiar with electronics.

I don’t have schematic in front of me but i do know there is a diode used in my 73’ behind the instrumentation.
