I have a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe and the Generator got so hot I couldn’t hardly touch it and then it started smelling and then started smoking. I replaced it with a rebuilt generator but it still seems to be getting hot so I stopped driving the car. Any idea what is causing the generator to get hot?? Could it be the voltage regulator ??
