[speed1975]

My father gave me a 1965 Galaxie 2 door with a 289....well all things aside the car runs great stock everything but the problem I am having is the the batery will not charge. He told me that he put a new alternator and voltage regulator and I think the battery is newer. I only measure 7.8 volts on the battery when the car is running witch is way below what I think is should be. I found something on the internet that if I jumpered out the A and F terminals on the plug that plugs in the voltage regulator that I should read max voltage output across the battery... Does anyone have any idea what I can do to figure this out.. I pulled another battery off of my ford escort and put it on ...well with the engine running it showed 12.50 volts....I have no idea where to turn


any help and I would love ya for ever....lol
