"First step is to reconfigure the battery cables so that the cut-off switch is on the ground wire instead of the hot wire between battery and starter motor. I think a voltage spike here might be burning out diodes in the Delcotron alternator."
I was lucky enough to stumble upon advice to place the power cut-off on the NEG. side of the battery. Larry, I'm going to your archives to look for a picture of the inside of the 3-on-the-tree shifter box..got one? I think I need to replace the spring inside there, looks half broken and jury-rigged..., thanks, Cosmo.
