Thx Dave,
Your solution makes the most sense. This is an
ALTERNATOR car therefore no polarization required. I know about how to
adjust the voltage regulator to 13.6 volts, which it was. It worked perfectly
for a while but then did the same thing my old one did. I don't want to be
filing the points quite that often and seems unusual for this to happen so
soon. Maybe the contacts on the newer regulators are cheap and can't stand up to
the job?
Anyway, I have a solid state regulator on it's way
for $25. that has the original looking cover on it. We'll see. Thanks for
all the responses.

It may be possible the replacement regulators are set up to control the
voltage at too close a voltage drop. If all connections are good, and clean
and the battery is not "punky", you may have to remove the regulator cover,
and do a minor bending and tweaking (FSM) explains it. If all else fails, a
solid state type may be the next coarse of action. Dave.
