Default Service Recommendations in North Phx/Scottsdale Area
Still having charging problems with the Kirkham (pretty frustrating...I figured I would be doing some work on the car but not this much, this soon). Alternator connections good, belt tight, pulled alternator and it tested good, reinstalled....checked voltage regulator connections (good), pulled and replaced voltage regulator.....but still have a) voltage gauge light on when engine running, and b) < 12 volts (and dropping....) when engine running (above idle....in fact the voltage gauge needle does not move AT ALL when the engine speed changes). So - no charging to the battery.

I am not sure what else to check - if anybody has ideas fire away (I have read all the threads I find on this).

In the meantime - would appreciate suggestion on a shop that can look it over for me - someone that has worked on Cobras/hot rods. I will have to have it towed there so appreciate someplace on this side of town if possible.

thx - Mike
