Alright here's what I've done w/ my electrical system on my 59:
- Rebuilt generator.
- Rebuilt starter.
- New starter solenoid.
- Brand new voltage reg.
- New res. coil.
- New plugs/wires.
- 1 year old battery.
- Probably some other things I cant remember now.
So, here's the problem: my car wont hold a charge. At all. Any time I want to drive it, I have to jump it off, which it has no problem doing. I've got the whole lights dimming at low RPM's thing going. After about 1 hour of driving, I can turn the car off, and try to start it again, at which point it will turn over a couple of times and then I get nothing but the grind of the starter. This is REALLY frustrating!
I have this suspicion that its my voltage regulator. I may not even have the right wires on the correct posts. So, would someone tell me (in order from top to bottom) which wires go where on that thing?
And any other help is greatly appreciated. Thanx guys!
