[Healeys] Lucas Issue

[PG]

The Prince of Darkness has struck me for the first time in 3 years!

 

About three weeks ago, my 67 BJ8 suddenly lost all electrical power.  I was
in first gear and starting on an uphill slope.  The car  "lurched" a bit
when I let the clutch out and suddenly I was without power.  At that time, I
checked the "on/off" knob in the trunk and the connection at the starter
solenoid but could find no short or loose connection.  All the fuses were
fine and nothing else seemed out of order.

 

I was about to push it onto the side of the driveway when the electrical
started working again for no apparent reason.

 

I was going to write the list but....

 

Today, I was backing the car into a parking stall and Voila...the power dies
again.  Again, a miraculous cure after a few hours!.  

 

Rear "on/off" know is fine, Fuses are fine, connections as starter solenoid
are fine..

 

I am thinking voltage regulator but would like some guidance first.

 

Thanks
