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?
