351C 4V
Don't claim to be an auto mechanic but I'll tackle anything and am capable. Stumped on this one though.
Started with a battery drain of two amps. Unplugged ALL fuses...one at a time. Still 2A drain. Unplugged voltage regular and drain stopped.
Replaced voltage regulator which fell apart when removed) and drain was fixed...but now alternator light was on when started. Since everything else in this car electrically was a mess when I purchased it, I went ahead and replaced the alternator. LIGHT STILL ON!
What's left? Starter solenoid and battery were also replaced while I was at it just to get new components under the hood.
I'm measuring 11.9vdc at alternator and battery. New battery...voltage regulator...starter solenoid and alternator. ALt light on when car started.

HELP guys (& gals)!
