My experience with one wire alternators is you always when starting the engine have to hit the throttle to excite the alternator, if you just turn the key without giving it throttle the alternator will not start charging. If you still have problems take the alternator to any repair shop and most will check it for free.

If the master switch is a problem just remove the switch, unless required for racing why do you need a master battery switch? I have never owned a car with a master shut off switch. All circuits should be fused.

Locate the switch that controls the fans, either in the radiator or the intake manifold. (it operates on water temperature) Check for voltage, if you have voltage jump the switch and the fan should run. No voltage check fuse, If voltage then bad switch. Your dash switch just applies voltage to the fans if you want to manually turn them on or off and should have nothing to do with the thermo switch.


Look behind the fuel gage for a bulb, sometimes they fall out. When you find the bulb interchange it with a known working bulb, If you have a good bulb check for voltage.

I hope this helps.
