got 3 out of 4 plugs out, no compression in cylinder 1, 2 and 3 have good compression got some penetrant in 4 to try to get the plug out. I have been told this alternator has a "striker" which forces you to raise the rpm's to get the alternator light to go off sometimes, guessing to just try to get 12 volts to the gas solenoid and coil. Does the voltage regulator only effect charging or can it have the voltage way too low thru the entire system?
