    1978 Ford Econoline
    Hello :)

    My friend has a 1978 Ford Econoline engine is a 318 or 360?

    The Altenator was changed. Battery will not hold a charge. What charging system problem might this be?

    Thank you! :)

    The replacement alternator may be faulty.
    Or the battery may have a bad cell or is just too depleted to take another charge.

    Or, it could be a defective voltage regulator.
