I have a 65 3/4 Power Wagon with a 318. I have restored it
except I have a problem with the voltage regulator. It is of the
mechanical variety (stock) which I would like to keep.
I have a new alternator in place and I have burned out two
voltage regulators over a one year span. When you watch the
guage the Needle bounces and all of the lights flicker.
I have looked for shorts but have not found any. I am not a real expert
in electrical system so I need help. Why does it do this and What ca I do to
correct the problem? It drive me nuts to have the lights pulse with the bouncing
of the needle on my guage. The last regulator I could even hear it tick.
Thanks in advance for your help.
