My 76 B came with a bad V/S . Stuck a working one in its place and it went bad. Stuck another good one in and the gauges don't always read correct. I have one left but haven't put it in yet. Any one know what can make them fail or were the ones I put in an hour or two from their way out?

Have you made sure it has a good ground connection? Have you checked the voltage input and output? Is it correctly orientated? Are all the connections clean and secure?
 
Yep: What she said.

That's about the only reason you'd have consistent failures like this. Don't waste the last one 'til you've cleaned and re-snugged connectors.

Make sure your alternators voltage regulator isn't putting out to much voltage. PJ
