Well, it seems as if the problems are still going on to some extent.
I did replace the alternator with a 55 amp rebuilt unit for $75.
Put in a brand new voltage regulator.
Put in a new battery.
Put in a new starter because i needed to.
The battery was sort of shot, due to one cell shorting. The alternator needed replacing: I had it checked out and they found it was weak, took it apart and found the bearing in the back had disintegrated.
I am not totally sure what this could be. The fuel filter was replaced about three months ago(the car has been running well for a few years now, and tank had been cleaned prior), the points were replaced, but the dwell angle is slightly off.
Could this effect the engine as described above? Maybe I need a new relay for the fuel pump...I have had problems with it in the past and replaced it with an old spare. What other electrical systems run through the circuit the headlights are on?
TIA,
Paul
