Reply to "Charging Gremlins - RESOLVED"

5754If you're not kickin' up dust, you're collectin' it!

In less time than it took the kids to watch Jungle Book, I got the car up on stands, crawled under, crawled back out, disconnected the battery, crawled back under, discovered I needed metric sockets for this job ... yadda yadda (you know you've all been there) ... took off the old regulator - which had 'Heavy Duty' emblazoned on it and was twice the thickness of the new one, but only 1/2 the weight - put in the new one, dropped the car back down, re-connected the battery, fired it up, and even up to 2500 revs, she was only putting 14 volts into the battery.

A really cool added benefit is that the Tachometer had started misbehaving (It would climb to between 2500 & 3000, then drop to zero, then when I shift up, it would try climbing again, but never get above 3500 and would jitter and drop and rise). I guess the over-voltage was playing havoc with it as well, because after doing the regulator, the Tack is working perfectly now.
