Seems I've done something interesting. I replaced the MSD box in my car a couple of weeks ago and since then, I've noticed that the Voltmeter needle is pegged when the iginition is on. I was poking around today and found out that both sides of the alternator and both sides of the coil are open to the valve covers. Presumably, that means that they are shorted to ground.
I've pulled the connector from the voltage regulator and that isn't shorted anywhere. So I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
