Bought another one...... this ones a '85

That don't look too bad just pull it all out and put it on a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood on some horse stands and check it out.
well, somebody converted it over to points, which I'm fine with. However, it boils the battery. I've tried a different alternator and voltage regulator so I'm thinking their splice and dice job might have bypassed the voltage regulator or something.
