Re: charging issues

Had the same issue with my 65 Satellite. A/C, amp,
MSD ignition, electric cooling fans, power seats..ect. Solved my problems 
with a 100 amp single wire alternator. By eliminating the voltage regulator 
and direct wire to the battery no wiring issues. Worked for me. The only one 
out there (that I could find) is from Tuff Stuff. Uses the standard case and 
no bracket change required. Best price I could find was from
