My 74 260 has just recently become afflicted with an electrical problem. It seems the battery is not being charged correctly. WHen I rev my car up, the amp meter shows a rise in current, but not much. Alternator has been checked and its fine. This issue is also affecting my fuel pump. For some reason the electric fuel pump isnt pumping at all. Battery is brand new(less then 2 weeks).

I have a voltage regulator on order, but the fuel pump issue is making me think it might be something else.

Has anyone else had to deal with this issue?

also, every so often the damned thing will come alive, charge hard core, then stop charging again....

Sounds like it could be the regulator to me.
