When they were brand new in 1965 they were junk, and time hasn't made them any better. The external regulators give a truckload of problems and you need an idiot light or at least a 100 ohm resistor in the circuit to energize the alternator field circuit. Get a 10-SI type alternator with an internal regulator and a simple 2-wire exciter harness to make it work properly. I'm about 40 miles from Estill Springs- - - -get the right alternator and I'll be glad to help you wire it up. Jerry
