Had the same problem myself on my 66 B, new (rebuilt) generator, new (?)
regulator. Checked everything, came to the conclusion the regulator was bad.
Drove it back to the shop (with fresh charge on battery), showed the owner - he
took it back and gave me another regulator. Everythings fine now. I don't think
you can always assume a replacement part is good. You need to test (& re-test)
everything.
Good luck.
