1967 3000 BJ8... owned since 1969.. last month the generator light came on... tested generator... nothing.. gen original to car..I have replaced brushes before.. decided maybe it was time to get a rebuild and replace it.. got new gen.. installed and polarized... tested..getting 14 volts at 1000 rpm... gen light on at idle of 1000 rpm... slowly raised rpm.. light went out at 2000 rpm ..lowered rpm... light stayed out till back down to 1000..stayed consistent... original voltage regulator ... I thought 'ha'..I can solve this problem.. spare voltage regulator on shelf.. I have had it 15 years..still sealed in bag..still in the box... installed.. now gen light stays on all the time !!!!.. checked connections.. re-polarized gen.. didn't open up regulator..I see some saying to clean the points inside.. I'm a bit stumped..
