Allright i just got all the wiring in my 66 mustang. i bought the complete body harness from painless performance and rewired the entire car. So i got it all in and troubleshot for the last week and finally got it to run tonight. but after i got it started it ran for about 2 minutes and then the voltage regualator started smoking. its now ruined but does anyone know why that happened????

thanks

My guess is that you have a short somewhere on the +5V output of the regulator.
