<VV> Charging Problem

[Michael Kovacs]

If you have a spare voltage regulator, it can be temp attached to the system for 
a comparison check.

Subject: <VV> Charging Problem

Yesterday while driving my Crown conversion Corvair to a car show in The 
Villages, FL, I noticed the ammeter read an usually high 30 amps and pulsing to 
an even higher 60 amps and then back to 30.

Returning home after the show I kept a close eye on the ammeter.  For a while it 
read a normal slight positive charge and then it went to about 30 amps and 
seemed to be related to engine speed...higher rpms resulted in a higher amp 
reading.  Could it be the 46 year old voltage regulator is bad or might there be 
other places to look?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
