I do have heavy cables but won't be using them to start the 300D. I'll
start the 300D with its battery and then disconnect it and hook the 300D
cables to the jumpers and the other end of the jumpers to the disconnected
240D battery. There will probably be a voltage drop but I should be able to
see if the alternator is charging. Does that make sense?

If you are saying you are going to use your jumper cables in between the
240 battery and the 300 cables and starter yhen you better have a big set
of cables. Like welding cable. Otherwise you will burn them up and not
answer your question. Better to just swap out the batteries and see if
the
issue follows the battery from the 300.

That's a good idea, Richard. I'll put the 240D and the 300D side by side
and jumper with all the cables off. I know the 240D battery is good.
Batteries are both group 49.
Thanks,

Like everybody else has said, please change the battery before you go to
all that trouble. You could even just use some jumper cables and clamp
another one in parallel to the toasted one to prove your point. Much
easier
than messing with regulators and drill presses (c:
Thanks to Rick, Richard, and Loren for your advice; and to Fred for the
connector which arrived in good order. Going to wire it up and try it
again. If the connector wasn't the problem, will put a good regulator in
and try it. If that doesn't work, will chuck the 3 used alternators in
the
drill press one at a time and try the half dozen regulators (hooked to
the
12 volt shop battery) until I find a good combination. If "that" doesn't
work, I'll assume that the battery, (which had boiled out most of its
water
in one cell), is at fault and get FLAPS to put in a new battery which
they
agree to do at my option.
Gerry....mostly talking to myself
