hello, I have been visiting the FTE website since I purchased my 77 f250 4x4 (351m) last March. Lots of very useful info to be found. Finally joined and have requested admittance to WA chapter so that I can meet/talk with the local crowd. Currently, I am going about trying to replace many of the "bolt-on" parts of the engine. I have already essentially replaced much of the front end (u-joints, axle races, brakes, etc.). Now I am having problems with the engine electrics. Have replaced the alternator (w/100A), regulator, battery, ig. module, ig. coil, etc. The problem now lies with getting a charge from the alternator. Can anybody reccomend a reliable mechanic in the south Seattle area w/ experience in the older Ford Trucks and their electrical systems?
This guy knows a ton about electronic stuff, and i highly recommend talking to him.

It could be, shouldn't be too difficult to rewire. Also check your grounds and stuff to make sure it is all correct and not shorting.

How do you know your not getting a charge? What is your diagnosis from?
