64magoo , was your truck doing the same thing as I've described or something else ? The voltage regulator has been on the truck as long as I've owned it ( since 1976 ) and is probably the original 1965 equipment . Do you think it would be worth the effort to replace it ? Also , some one had asked if I had checked the ground wire to the distributor ? Is there an actual wire from the distributor or is it just grounded where its inserted into the block ? There is only one wire coming out of my distributor and it goes to negative side of the coil . Am I missing something here ? Back to the voltage regulator , Would it cause the problems I've talked about ?
