Voltage Regular
Pontiac had a very odd voltage regulator for 1935-36, which is notoriously unreliable. It was replaced soon after, but the replacement is larger and doesn't mount cleanly on the firewall.
New ones are extremely hard to find, but they can be done in solid state electronics. Mine failed on the coupe this fall so I've had it rebuild by Wilton Auto Electric in Wilton, NH. $85 gets you a new one using your original case, so there is no change in appearance.
Here are some pics:
The guy is very responsive and I'm confident it will work fine, but won't know until spring.

I'll probly have him do another one I have just to have a spare on hand.
