Driving along without a care in the world in my 63 - 409/425 & all of the sudden, there was a complete loss of all electrical power & the engine “died”. Fortunately I was able to coast to a safe spot.
No gauges, no lights, nothing....voltmeter went to “0”.
My horn works...and I do have power (12V) going to the voltage regulator.
I removed the alternator and had it checked out at the auto parts store. All OK .
I also bought a new voltage regulator & installed that. Nothing.
Not even my dome lights are working.
It like nothing past the VR is getting any electricity.
The car was safety towed & is back home in the garage. But now the fun really starts trying to track down the issue.
Any ideas where to look ?
