Really? Now you may be on to something. The lead from the regulator to the idiot light was only connected to the "noise suppressor capacitor"....
There is a fuse link on the battery side of the solenoid. Is that the one you mean? It appears to be a completely sealed item so I'm not sure what...
There is no alternator light. I have an aftermarket volt meter wired to the hot lead for the gauge cluster and to ground. The wiring diagram you...
Here's an update. I took the alternator to a local NAPA store that I trust and they put it on their machine. It put out 13.6 volts. As a control...
Most of us really don't like those big, ugly, government mandated, 5-mph bumpers on the later model cars. But they actually can be quite handy as...
The battery is new, bought yesterday.
Yep, I got one. I thought most alternators were internally regulated so call me surprised. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks, this is all good information. There is a regulator on the wiring diagram I have but I'll have to go out to the garage and see where it is...

Is there one, or is it built into the alternator?
I have a '76 Comet six cylinder. The alternator is a rebuild of unknown pedigree (it was on the car when we bought it) I had it tested at the...
Thanks, I'll check that out. Even though this car is a 6 cylinder car, it's got power brakes and the brake booster makes it hard to see anything...
But where and how did you cut that hole? I can't see anywhere that I have room for a drill and I can't see where any of the factory wiring goes...
I'm adding some auxiliary gauges to our '76 Comet. Water temp, oil pressure, and a tach. I'm used to working on older cars that have a lot more...
I can't use that.
Yep, definitely interested. PM sent.
That sounds good, I don't care about the lens, mine is fine, I'm only interested in the rear of the cluster and the printed circuit. Those need to...
Do you have any of the other later year clusters? I understand 74 and later are all the same?
Do any of your parts cars have a good gauge cluster?
I've got an ad in the wanted section for a new gauge cluster for my '76 Comet. I removed the existing one because it's broken almost in half, the...
