How about your grounds? Clean and tighten them all and also your positive connections. You did not sy if this car has the generator or if it has an alternator. Is this problem a new problem (since you had the engine out) or has it been an existing on going problem.

>The same '64 with the tranny trouble also has a weird electrical problem.  When I fired it up for the first time, it started right up and idled smooth as silk.  And this, no less, before I even had a chance to properly set the timing ,sync the carbs, or adjust the valves!  She purrs like a kitten.  As for the electrical problem, when I ducked into the passenger compartment to check the idiot lights I noticed something strange.  The gen idiot light was flickering ever so slightly.  Then I noticed that, along with the slight flicker of the idiot light, the courtesy lights also were flickering in unison.  It was a flicker that sort of "pulsed".  Would this by chance be a bad voltage regulator?  Opinions please.  Thanx again.
