Interest in NB alternator circuit board?

Ok, well... I hooked the ground wire to one of the ground pins above the proto area. The +12v is hooked to one of the 3 12v pins on the edge connections of the MS, next to the INJ1 connections. The Field wire is connected to 1o.
However, no matter which way I adjust the pot.. I am not charging at all. Just a steady voltage drop.
Any thoughts?

<br />What is the field voltage?

I do not have access to a variable power supply. I have probably turned it 15 full turns with absolutely zero change.
Looks like I may have to re-install the NA Alt. and do the wiring mods.
As a side note, I see a lot of mention of a battery light. I do not seem to have a battery light in my cluster. So I wonder if that has something to do with this.

<p>Turn it 25 turns clockwise and then 11 counterclockwise.</p><p>You should also measure the value of the pot. it should be like 50k.</p><p>Are you sure you don't have a battery light? I think all the NBs did.</p>

Ok. I have it so the field reads a pretty steady 0.036. But it still isn't charging. I have a second set of gauges. I installed them as well.. just in case something was busted with my custom one. Still not charging. So I guess that is not the issue.
Tomorrow I will put on my other NB Alternator... Just in case mine somehow got messed up. Although it SHOULDN'T be messed up. I am really not sure what else could possibly be keeping it from charging.
