    Started on my 76 daily driver project (see pair of Comets post) it appears the 76 uses the same brake setup up as the Granada spindles on my Maverick is this correct.
    Also on my 71 G.T. with a 6 in it at an idle alt light is very dim and when revved up it gets brighter alt or regulator issue?

    On the brakes, yes, same set up as Granada.

    I've seen both cause that problem. The regulator is cheaper, easier to change first.
