RE: new electronic distributor problems

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One last thought, have you bypassed your ballast resistor on the firewall? 
Or bottom line do you have 12v at the power supply to the coil?  Also, Gary
H. gave a list of Electronic solid state voltage regulators that I also
recommend using.  If your looking for an original or stock look take the old
cover off the old regulator and install it on the new electronic regulator
with a bead of RTV.  But with the conversion you just did it probably is of
no concern.  The solid state regulators are a lot more dependable (No Points
to Pit) and take care of the ammeter needle wobble and dimming headlights at
idle that a lot of people experience.  Your new point type regulator my not
present this problem now but it will sooner or latter slowly but surely!

Thank you for the advice. I put on the new stock voltage regulator I had
(from Year One), and now the alternator puts out about 12.5 volts with
all accessories on. That seems to have corrected the problem--must have
been the old regulator and resistance you mention. The old regulator
contacts were quite pitted.
 
As for the starting issue, I tracked it down to the solenoid post on the
firewall relay. The NSS switch and wire was fine. This is a new relay
(Year one), but perhaps it has gone bad.
