have a 67 pickup. Restored but all the original wiring appears to be there. When I start up the truck a get a dim alternator light (no gauge). Then if I turn on the wipers, or the turn signal, or the heater blower, the light gets bright and none of the features operate. Just replaced the following: Starter switch Alternator Volt Regulator Battery |

I'm in Ashburn VA and just started a painless harness rewire yesterday. You should come over and check it out.

Re: Electrical Help in Va. Or DC Metro
Wanted to thank everyone for their input.
Found the problem. My truck has a remote selonoid (bought from Summit) for the starter. It was bad/ cracked. Replaced it and now it works great! Here is a pic of my truck: |
