My '73 1800ES is not charging the battery. I have replaced the voltage regulator with another identical voltage regulator from a '71 142E. I have also tried putting the alternator from my '72 142E. Still no luck, the car still does not charge the battery. However, it does run just fine, I charge the battery every night, and it runs fine all day. However at night, or after a long time driving I have a hard time starting the car. The amp light is always on bright red. Where do I go from here? What should I be looking for?
