Hi my name is tyrone, I just found this fourm a couple of days ago and decided to join. I am a member of vtci and land of lincoln t-birds. I have a 66 bird that the wife named magnolia that we can mag for short. Latley been having a charging problem, last year I was coming from a car show something hit the fan a blade went through the rad. So after I put a new rad thats when the charging problem started replace the alt twice something was burning out my voltage reg that I had to replace that twice. I replace the harness in back of the alt. On one of the threads it had said something about the wiring going the firewall , I traced it from the alt over the rad to the voltage reg. But if this has happen to anybody else please let me know

Tyrone, I'm not sure what your question is. Our electrical diagrams for your '66 is in the TRL (Technical Resource Library).

Yes, Tyrone. This system was installed on millions of Ford cars and trucks, Lincolns, Mercurys and Edsels. Yes, millions.
Eventually, all parts go back to the earth. It's simply a matter of time. Just about every combination of charging system failure that can happen, has happened many times to many car owners, so you are not alone.
With all failures, the idea is to spend as little money fixing it as possible. That is where sound troubleshooting practices come to light. Instead of throwing parts at a problem, find the failure first. Only replace what is necessary, otherwise you end up with a basket of good parts that you cannot use or return.
If you have two problems simultaneously, as in a case where one bad part took out another, this is where troubleshooting skills shine, and parts counter guys are lost. They love to sell you parts but once out the door, you're on your own.
I can help you track down the problems one by one, by isolating each component in the circuit. You can then identify and replace only the bad components. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution
