I started this topic already on another post but figured it would be better to start a new post.
I had my coil crack open and and the wire from the coil to the distributor completely melt down. Ive had a couple of really good responses.
One was to check the pionts on the voltage regulator. So I opened the regulator and I didn't find anything that I would call pionts. It just was a circuit board with some diods and resisters. Is that correct?
Another response was to check the ballest resistor. I have installed A new resistor along with coil, and pionts. After installing the new parts I tried to start it and it didnt want to start. Is there a ignition fuse in the 65's? Anyways all the wires in the engine compartment are dried out and cracking so I started replacing all the wires that needed replacing. This thing could have shorted out anywhere but I don't think thats what happened.
