[AT] n ford charge system

[Richard Fink Sr]

Thanks John +Chris. I had it about all right so it must be gen. 
problem. Did not take it off and disassemble told him to take both 
gen and regulator to a good shop. Also i did not know that the naa 
and the n were different or forgot it. Funny how these thing just 
slip away when not used for 30 years.
thanks again will print that out and put in my book.
