Phew and phew. That's all good...especially considering the alternatives...
We took ours to NC for a race this weekend. Dang hot there, too. Our only problem is it's still charging the battery a bit high - right around 15 volts - regardless of what voltage regulator we put on there. I guess our next step is to put a brand new wire with a brand new end on it to the voltage regulator and see if that makes any difference...any other suggestions?
Hi Leeann;
I have the same issue w/my '77 440:3 different regs and all charge @ 14.7-14.9 and appear to boil the battery. I haven't made an extended run for the 3 months since I've discovered this. Did your NC run boil the battery and do any damage? Checked and cleaned all connections, inspected wiring and everything looks fine. I never checked the charge voltage prior to the failure of the previous regulator so I can't say what it's output was, but I can't imagine it was that high w/o battery damage. If you find a remedy please post and I'll do the same.
