I have a 63 W-300. From what I can tell the original alernator was replaced with a Leece neville (part # A0012070A). The problem is that when sitting the truck draws about 3.5 amps. I've traced the problem to the regulator (part # R0013505RA). There is a relay that allows power to flow only when the iginition is on. This relay had the tab bent so it was on all the time. Well it broke when I tried bending it back. I now have no regulator.. Does any one know of a solid state replacement? Was this a common swap (to the Leece neville)?
