My 41 ford fordor is almost finished. Thanks for all the help I have gotton here. Here is my current problem but it a little away from the usual cars and trucks on here.

Sounds like a bad alternator or a main wire in the system that is going to ground. Did you replace the wire from the regulator to the alternator? Remove the alternator and take it to a parts store that can test it.

The alterantor checked good. Ford courier site is under updating and not much help. I did find a short in a plug in connection near the battery. The fuse is now good but my volt gauge does not register anything. I am thinking maybe now the ignition module might be bad. Thanks.

I will check the wiring closer to the alt. Thanks for input.
