Charging system problem

4nford4nford"Live wrong and Perspire"
OK, I figured out the problem of no charging. One of the wires in the regulator harness had worked its way loose from the connector and the spade connector wasn't engaging the regulator. The alternator is now charging. I now have a new problem, when I turn the ignition off, the engine continues to run for a while before finally dying out. I am running the stock ignition and the cooling fans are not on at the time. I never had this problem before Any ideas?

P.S. No wiring or any other changes were made, only the regulator was replaced. The system is a
3 wire with external regulator.

Hey John . . .I thought that was you and have been meaning to ask if it was. I also have a cd that I've been meaning to send you with picts from San Fran and the shipping docks. I still have your address and will send to you.

Check the web sites for updates. I'm posting updates on the car as well as scenery and other things.
