Reply to "Charging Problem"

Thanks for the advice. I removed the voltage regulator, cleaned the connections, and reinstalled. The "Gen" light on the dash lit up when starting the car. I proceeded to remove and clean all grounds (2 at the battery, 1 braided at the bellhousing, and one at the back of the transaxle). All grounds were attached to painted srufaces and needed a good cleaning. I then replaced the battery with a new Optima red top. After minimal use so far, the car starts like new - when engine is hot or cold, night or day
