History, I bought the car about a year ago, 1974 2.0 non-runner.

HEELTOE worked on it, got her all dialed in and running Good. Thanks for that.

I havn't driven her much due to some job travel. Sat 5 months, I know, I know, but I wasn't home and the wife think she's ugly and won't sit in it until the new interior gets done.

Charge Battery, Start her up, take to car wash, fill tank with Gas. Drive to work and back no problems tops off and loving life.

Yesterday, I'm driving home and I hit the brakes, TACH starts swinging back and forth (normally does not work) Red Generator light comes on, and Gas Gauge swings to empty. Odd.

Turn on turn signal, TACH swings with flasher, Gen Light on, Gas Gauge swings to empty.

This happen today on my way to work again so I think we can rule out intermittant. LOL

Gen light now has a constant very dim glow.

I don't know squat about electricity, and 30 years of people telling me it's like a water pipe is getting really old. I'm sure I can track down a broken wire, if I know where to start looking, but with all the different areas to inspect, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Any pointers on where to start?

Thanks for you time.
