Re: Battery, Alternator or Regulator problem '64 Sport Fury

Hi Doug,
Get your battery charged back up  and then check to see if your alternator 
is working. Did you notice the amp gauge while driving? Did it register a 
charge? Another thing, make sure your battery didn't freeze. It shouldn't if 
it had a full charge when you stored it but it's a possibility especially if 
the battery was marginal condition and you live in the frozen tundra of 
Minnesota like I do. One quick check that I use to verify the alternator is 
working, is take a screwdriver and hold to the back of the alternator case 
while the engine is running. If the case is magnetized and it draws the 
screwdriver in, at least the alternator is charging some.
