Been picking away at my 60 Bird for the past 10 months and considered it 99.9% done with the installation of a new radio. Parked it and an hour later, the head lights were on and there was a burning smell. Quickly disconnected the battery and found a number of wires from the generator burned as well wires to the regulator and solenoid. Pulled the cover off the regulator and the points were "welded" closed. This was a brand new NAPA regulator.
The car will be taken to the shop on a flatbed along with a new alternator. Once I have some better answers, I'm going to have a "chat" with NAPA.
