Simple Charging System fix

[62unibodymatt]

Today I fixed my charging system for my 62 F250. Someone put in a 69 390 FE and when i recently acquired the vehicle, found the alternator wasnt puttin out. Disassembled the Wells Voltage Regulator, (newer remanufactured circuit board regulators), and found a burned out resistor that channels the 12V input to the transistor to ignite the Field, in turn, kicking the alternator to get going. I love that I have a buddy who has a huge surplus of various resistors and I didnt have to go buy a new regulator or alternator to fix my charging system. Sweeeeeet! Now that is what I've done for my Ford today!

Thanks. I've been learning more and more about electronics and honing my electrical skills.
