Charging problems

Sedanman,
You can get it fixed. We are here for you, but first read the gazillion posts (several each week) about the charging system. And don't fixate on this page since he is using the later 1970's charging system. Step one is to replace your old electro-mechanical regulator with a modern electronic version, if hasn't been done. They are made for the early 1960's system w/ same connectors. I have bought for ~$11 on rockauto. If you keep the original, read the factory manual about popping the case, sanding the contacts and adjusting the spring regularly. Kind of like fooling w/ points (the old "tune-up"), which most here don't do anymore.
