Steve:
This note is late as I've been off on holidays for a while!! Anyway, I
agree with the other responses that your high amperage output problem
likely lies with the regulator. On the other hand, the horn item may be
something else - others??
Are you by any chance the MGA twin cam-owning Steve Crockett formerly of
Bellingham, WA and (last I heard) of Fairfax, VA??
