[Dangerous Doug]

Replaced the regulator today, and the headlights are consistently bright (no variation).

I had a guy run a tester at the local parts shop, and the battery and alternator both tested good, but the voltage seemed to wander a bit.

The old regulator was the standard issue Ford box. I replaced it with a higher quality regulator. When I replaced the old one, it was really hot to the touch---but that may have been just the proximity to the headers (about a foot away).

I thought I was done, but on my "test drive" (i.e. excuse to go out for a drive) I found on occasion that if I made an aggressive stop, the engine would die. I'll have to search for threads on this one.
