Success! The 35 amp regulator is working with the 45 amp at 4000 rpm generator and Winifred's odd behavior seems to have gone away. When I got her she had so many obvious issues with the fuel system, that I ignored checking the electrics. Everything that I did made her run a little better until I hit the wall for improvement. The Packard pamphlet Scientific Diagnosis for trouble shooting is a very good guide. I learned a lot. Now she starts strong, and pulls hills with ease. Idles at around 600 rpm. The amp light comes on when idling for a bit, but goes out as soon as you drive off. So I will drive her around a bit, and if it looks good try a 100 mile trip. As always THANK YOU for your helpful imput. You can just drive around at anything from 20 mph on up in third now.
