Datsun 1200 voltage regulator does not have a fuse in the voltage regulator.

check if you have the right fuse in the voltage regulator,
the wire inside the fuse should be like hair slim, try adding a resistor on field wire before it goes to the voltage regulator and see what the charge rate reads on the multimeter,
i believe it has to be the fuse because if you took it out you wouldnt have a charge rate so try different fuses..

Disconnecting the battery cables while it's running is a bad idea, you will run the risk of creating a high voltage spike which will destroy the diodes in the alternator.
Save yourself the brain damage, don't do it.

The voltage regulator can be working, yet with low voltage or high voltage it will ruin the battery. Testing for correct voltage is the best test. 13.5-15 volts is good. See Voltage Regulator for more details.

That test won't tell you if the regulator is overcharging. So use a voltmeter.

seems to be working?
Best way to test out if its really working,Start the car,Then remove the negative battery pole while the car is still running,If the car shuts off immediately then its the Voltage regulator .If it doesn't cut off the regulator is good.
