My Ignition light on my 65 has decided it would like to stay on. I have checked the belts, wiring leads, battery connection. Is it a high possibility that a new set of brushes on the generator will set it straight? Has worked and charged great up till now.
Winter Goblins I guess.

Or... could be an issue with the regulator box. Have you check any voltages yet?

Try cleaning contacts in the regulator and if you can get at them check brushs in gen for ease of movement. [Flick them off the armature a couple times] Cars that sit tend to require such action's to free up gens and clean dirty conatcts.
Used to use a clean new dollar bill to wipe contacts!
