Let me start over.

It's a 1971 350 with HEI that was in my 71 C10 BURB, running and driving with zero issues.

Pulled it and put it in my 72 K10 Burb that was still points. I had a well known hot rod shop in my area do the swap for me.

New tank, New Lines, New Q-Jet Carb.

Ran great, even driving it @ 50-55 MPH went about 40 miles, but......

It didn't charge. Even with new Alt, New Regulator, New battery.

so I decided to convert it to 1 Wire.

(1) 6 Gauge wire strait to the battery. It charges with no issues.

I disconnected the external regulator and linked the wires as i have seen in multiple diagrams.

I re-checked the timing again last night. disconnected VAC ADV(which was plugged in below butterflies)

Set it @ 8 Degrees with vacuum advance open, and the vacuum from carb capped .

Plugged it back in to same port- no change.

plugged VAC ADC (into port above butterflies) and the timing advanced a good bit, so id decided to take her for a spin and same problem.

Obviously it has to do with the ALT right? It ran fine before hand.

What am i Missing? Since its a one wire and I have no idiot light, do I need to convert it to a 3 wire?

Could that possibly be my issue?

Thanks again
