    Update to the gremlin hunt

    Took all the suggestions given here (thank you all)
    I cleaned every ground point and the headlight sockets
    inspected ever bit of wire for cracks wrapped any one that looked a bit funky
    then replaced the voltage regulator on the alt
    no more strobing headlights and gauges not going dead

    Thank you all who put me on the right path to correcting this issue

    A bad ground in the left front fender can cause the car to stall when you turn on the high beams - its in the FAQ!

    Clean all grounds as was mentioned - If youj have anti-lock, there is one at the bottom of its base.
