I have 31 sedan that I inherited from my grandfather and the ammeter will go from pegged discharge when it starts to pegged charging then the fuse would blow when I go to rev it up to pull out. So I put a 30 amp breaker on it same scenario pegs it trips the breaker then the car shuts off. I've used the search function but can't find anyone with the same scenario. There is a condenser in the distributor and I've tried to get the timing down with the nurex wrench. Timing Definately not near where the woody idles but it has its own set of problems. I put new plugs in it and it backfires as well. There is a 6 volt alternator as well
