[AT] n ford charge system

[Chris Britton]

See my other post.. but in short.. that unit is A circuit.

Jumper bat to armature with engine not running to polarize

try to motor test.. if it motors, but woon't charge, start engine, and 
jumper field to ground? charge no, then jumper bat to arm, if it starts 
charging, then you have a bad regulator with either a bad field winding or a 
bad cutout section..

See my previous post for more detailed info..

All ford 6v regulators ARE NOT the same... 8n regs were A circuit.. NAA and 
hundred series regs are B circuit..  HUGE difference.

at 40$ a pop for a v-reg.. don't muck around.. do it right the first time..
