'64 390 Genarator charging problem

First off, Thanks to those responsible for this forum, I've learned much in the last week. Never realized the Mustang FE following before. Now, I'm hoping some of the old hands can point me in the right direction.

My '64 Galaxie XL conv. w/390 won't charge. It worked fine when I put it in storage (dad's barn) in '87. I drove it cross country, NC to Ore prior to parking it (good memories of a fun trip-22, single, and driving a ragtop cross country).

I remember having to polarize the genarator when I installed it. Could it have lost the polarization again? If so what is the correct procedure to polarize it? I'm a decent Mech, but haven't messed with genarators much in the last 15 years (and apparently neither have many of the Pac N.W. auto electric shops).

All I need to do to have a driver again is fix the charging system, and flush and seal the gas tank, replace the rubber fuel hoses, and finish the o/h of the carb. Looking forward to getting back from the Big Sandbox so I can get back to work on the old girl (and see the wife, too). Then I can start the cosmetic and suspension work......
This thread, so far...
