Greetings peoples *waves

Today my wife gave me a tr7 ( think I will keep her) but it seems to have a
weird problem.  This weird problem is elecrtical.  I know strange shocker
there.

Here is a list of my symptoms.
Center switch cluster nothing there works.  The raido works, the lighter
works.  Fans works.  Cant test the AC cause the belt is off.

Here is some more.  Headlight switch. Does nothing.  not even turning on the
lights.  Also no dash lights
4 ways do nothing
rear defoger does nothing.

Dash cluster.  Everything works but the tach pegs all the way over.  This I
find unusal.

Alternator dead I figure 3 years of outside storage killed it on list to take
apart and check out.

Could this be a voltage regulator issue?

Fuses all look good.
I cant seem to put a finger on even where to start looking.  Going to buy a
haynes manuel on the way home tommorow for some help here on this. Wow am I
needy new person. But I look forward to saving this poor criter.  Car feels
like a *he* never had a *he* car before but it seem happy.  I have subscribed
to the digest due to high mail volume but i can also be reached at
123cv@attbi.com

Thank you for reading this lengthy post and hope to here some advice and whom
knows I might supply some ammusement with my trials and tribulations of owning
another tr7 .  ( talk about the return of being young )

Bah am rambling
Luck to you and yours

Chris
New Owner of a green ( I must fix that its the Lime color) tr7 1976 currently
