My 1974 Ford 5000 (English Version) has stopped charging. It is probably the generator brushes or VR I am guessing. I am considering changing to a 3-Wire alternator with the internal regulator (one guy I work with swears this is the only way to go). My biggest problem is how do I get a good Tach reading? The tach is driven off of the back of the generator with a speedometer type cable to the gage on the dash.
Or maybe I shold just figure out what is wrong and stay with the existing system? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any replies.
