Thanks for the replies All the info has been very helpful I ended up replacing the new external regulator (mechanical) one with a new electric external regulator Got a tip from the local starter and alternator shop about that didn't know there was a difference If i do have anymore issue i think i will go to an internal alternator So far it seams to have solved the issue I also tightened up all my ground wires I also turn on my electric fan when the car starts to get a little warm and that cools down the regulator also with the air blowing around it I think the carburetor is giving me some issues also so i will be rebuilding it soon Checked my distributor cap and rotor also looks like the rotor metal piece was not quite high enough so i raised it up now its starting much faster on initial start up Thanks for this site!!! I have been a long time site member but its been a while since I've been on Will try to be a little more active to help others Thanks Much
