Alternator rotation.

Had a 351m in my truck pulled it to install a stroker 521. Now alt light on and not charging. Does the 460 crank spin in a different direction from the 351m?

As a general rule of thumb all engines rotate clockwise with the exception of some hondas.

I would check the wiring, you might have tweaked a wire out of a crimp somewhere.

Hope this helps

Agreed; it's got to be in the wiring. Can you describe all the connections you have to your alternator and regulator?
