hey guys
well, you'll will love this. for the past 5 years, ever since i restored the 65 mustang for my wife, i've had these electrical problems. after resetting the regulator i found that after the musatang warmed up that the voltage to the battery kept rising-to almost 16 volts! asked a friend, who used to race a real 289 cobra up until the early 80's, what he thought and he said that since i had exhausted all other possiblities he suspected a short in the battery. over the weekend i took the battery in for a test and they claimed that it was fine. i asked for a new one anyway and took it home and installed it. started the car and ran it for 20 minutes and not a problem one. the voltage stayed around 14.1-14.2. imagine, for the last 5 years its been the brand new battery causing the problems. at least its all well that ends well.
