Your car predates generator or so-called voltage regulators. Unless your generator has been modified, the "box" is just a simple cut out to open the circuit and prevent the battery from discharging back thru the generator when the engine is shut off. You have what's called a third brush generator, output is increased or decreased by adjusting the position of the third brush which is done via an adjusting screw on the rear of the unit.

Your properly connected as positive ground?

Have you checked the fuse? They are available from NAPA.
