Early cars had wiring issues. Does the dash go out? or is it just the headlights?

Thanks for the reply. It is difficult to tell as it's just a smell, no smoke. It ends up losing all power, but it's not right away. It will go for about 30 minutes and seems to drive normally, but then it slowly dies in about 5 minutes. Batteries are a little over a year old and very well maintained - always watered and very clean connections. They supposedly tested fine. If anything it would be there's just a bad one in the bunch, just testing is difficult. I hooked up my multimeter while I drove it to various batteries but don't really know what I'm looking for as far as voltage drop.
Again, it's just surprisingly difficult to find anyone who knows these.
