Hey Rob,
When I was getting my '62 ready for the road I had a simillar problem with the wipers. My solution was a wiper arm
pivot at the cowl was siezed. Perhaps one of your pivots is sticking causing the high amp reading on the alt. gauage
and causing the breaker to cycle. Something to check out...

Subject: more alt. gauge help please ( somewhat long)
Ok, i tore into this problem today so i have a little more info for u
guys than I had the other day.
The problem is an alt. gauge that regularly pulls to the discharge
side, just like a little clock, about every 10seconds. Also when the
alt gauge pulls the wipers will creep about an inch, then stop till
the next alt gauge pull.
Someone, dave casey i believe, suggested a problem somewhere in the
wiper system, probably the wiper breaker was " firing' and causing
the alt gauge to pull to the side.
He was right , when I disconnected the wiper motor and then a white
wire going to the breaker ( I assume this is the breaker, a small
silver box on a little bracket attached to the wiper switch). The alt
gauge stopped its little number. The ticking sound that accompanied
the alt gauge pulling left was indeed coming from the little silver
box.
I decided to start with the switch, so i got the wiper switch from
my parts car and put it in, hooked back up the wiper motor, and
wired back the white wire . NO CHANGE, nothing changed . Same
problem.
I suppose the second switch could be bad too but who knows
I looked around up in there as well as I could at the wiring, looked
OK, but who knows.
What should i try next, its driving me crazy
