This has been a suspicion of mine, since my fuse block has a huge number of inconsistencies with the wiring diagram. Jim and I took care of some of it, but when Keith had me look at the wiring again I noticed that it seemed that PO's couldn't make heads or tails of which diagram to use, the one that says 1971 or 1972 (the wiring diagrams are labeled by manufacturing date, not model year). It really looks like a nasty job of untangling everything and putting it all in place. A job that would take a guy like me a couple of days probably. So I've been putting it off. > Or maybe the diode in the voltage regulator. > As the engine continues to turn over after the key is turned off, the > generator is still putting out voltage until the engine stops completely. > Try disconnecting the generator field wire when it is doing this, and then > see if it still does this. Which wire is that? Sorry, no Bentley in front of me. > Does it do it everytime you shut the engine off??? It does not do it every time. In fact, it hasn't done it for almost a month now.

Going to DC and have a deadline for a TV pilot I'm writing (my life is getting weirder and weirder). So it'll probably be next week. -- Mike Wodkowski 72 SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
