'59 with a 235. Stock generator/voltage regulator. Need some help. I installed a firewall mounted master cylinder/booster, and ended up having to move the voltage regulator. I touched no other electrical part besides brake light switch. Now it won't start. I have no spark. Almost zero voltage at the coil. As far as I know, the VR has nothing to do with the start circuit. Or am I way off on that? the BAT post on the VR is full battery voltage. The other two posts are the charging circuit, right? I know just enough in this area to be dangerous!

What could kill voltage to the coil other than the ignition switch or resistor? Everything seems fine with the switch. It has full voltage in, and all the stuff that operates off of it works (except of course the ignition circuit). The "in" side f the resistor only shows like 6.5 volts or so. Could that indicate a bad wire from the switch? Like I said, nothing was touched, but things could have been tugged on a bit during the MC install.

I child-proofed my house, but my kids keep finding their way back in.
