Re: Alternator Exciter Wire Wiring Help!

So after finally replacing components in the distributor, i'm still having charging issues. I'm only reading a 12v charge, and im getting around 1.2xx volts on the excite wire. Thoughts?

Not necessarily by the starter, moreso by the blower fan. I'd like to think it's the fuel pump relay but the fuel pump works great at the moment so I'm assuming that's not it.
