Steve-
        Sounds like a regulator problem...  Make sure the reg. contacts have
not welded.  You did not mention if you had changed to neg. ground when the
gen was rebuilt...  there may be some connection here. ( no pun...)

I have noticed what I think is a problem with my 60 TR3A electrical system -
in
a nutshell, when I accelerate I notice the ammeter jumps to the positive
(+30)
and stays there until the RPMs come back down. Is this an issue with the
regulator??? There is a new generator (heavy duty according to the shop that
installed it). I can't help but think this cannot be good for the electrical
system. Also, when I hit the horn, the ammeter also jumps to the positive.
Hopefuly this is enough information to help diagnose the problem?  I am a
lister/lurker and have been getting a lot of great info from this list!!!!
