Have you removed and bridged the 1.0 external regulator? I don't know whether this would have an effect, but it will need to be done regardless. (My guess is it is having an effect, but can't be certain)

You'll have to do a search on this. It might be buried in Christovers old sierra build thread, but the 1.3 and 1.6 alternators are internally regulated. you can't just unplug the external regulator, you have to bridge out the connections. I'm pretty sure christover had a diagram of how it had to be done, which I copied years ago when I went to my 660cc motor in Piggles.

The regulator is on the firewall above the passenger's left foot. It's clearly marked.

you can't just "bypass" it.

Give me 20 min or so and I'll post some photos. I've dug out my old 1.0 loom with the bridged regulator plug on it.

Beaten! that's from christover's thread.

Here's my photos. I cut the reg off and joined the appropriate wires. You can see the colours in my pic.
