*smoke bomb*
Been digging through those quite a bit lately. Unfortunately it doesn't have a 1979 FSM and there are significant differences between 1979 and 1980 when it comes to the charging and ignition systems. Hell, my wiring harness differs from the 1979 one on that site. Maybe it's because I have an early build (March 1978)?

I took some pictures of the area by the clutch master cylinder. I have four connectors that aren't connected:



From the insulating muck on them it appears they have never been connected. Only two would make a matching pair anyway. Other than that I verified the alternator regular was fully connected and nothing looked out of place or broken. Since I'm reading less than 12V at the battery and alternator I'm thinking the regulator and/or alternator are somehow bad. If anyone knows how to check their function on a '79 let me know.
