    1969 Roadrunner Fusible Link Burning Hot to Touch When Running / Fine With Engine Off / Help Troubleshoot

    If you have installed a voltmeter , unhooked the ammeter and tied those wires together the same weak link at the bulkhead still remains. Voltmeter or ammeter, if you load the system incorrectly the same weak link is still there . Remember the weak link is the bulk head NOT the gauge. Now if...

    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    Yes I'm measuring primary I don't have a clamp to read the secondary side.

    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    Also..... why do I have such a huge negative . I get it now pkpk = peak to peak duh haha So I'm up 400 volts then negative 300v ? How is that possible ? Should it not hit 0 volts and stop?

    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    I belive that is the correct probe to be using ? What I was really interested in was dwell and coil saturation. From what I read, I don't really see that in my wave signal. Should there not be a drop in voltage as the primary charges , and then if a slight rise if gets full saturated and...

    That doesn't make any sense.... if you had a voltmeter and you see your volts dropping what are you going to do ? VS You have the ammeter and it shows a discharge , both are telling you the same thing. Actually the ammeter would probably show you something is wrong before the voltmeter would.

    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    What is the 728v p-p mean ? My understanding is that I have it set on 100v scale so each square is 100v . My spike or fire of the plug is about 400+ volts would that be correct . I scaled the time in 2 different patterns 200 and 500us. How much is a US. Just liken vertical squares being...

    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    So I picked up a cheap little oscilloscope to play around with. I was hoping to get some reading from my ignitio coil , to try and compare with 2 different setups. Also I belive they can be useful for checking alternators among other things. Basically just another tool I thought would be...

    Plug reading

    Yea , I was just trying to say how handy it is that you do have one ! You don't give to much info on the motor or setup. Is this a new build and carb ? If so you probably just need to go threw the carb and tune correctly. The pump cam alone may not be enough. You may need a bigger pump...

    Plug reading

    Careful of that lean spike at WOT. Bad things happen when You said it recovers quickly. But that still means there is a lack of fuel right off the hit. Make sure your accel. Pump is adjusted correctly. You may even need to look into a different pump cam. The AF meter is a great tool to have .

    Replacing the front left frame rail.

    Found my old thread I made 10 years ago. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,116416.0.html

    Replacing the front left frame rail.

    Its a big job... I did it on my 68 charger about 10 years ago now. Have a thread about it somewhere . You have to unbolt the k Frame . It would make it incredibly difficult to do it with the engine in.

    The relays hooked to the battery , will be triggered ( turned on ) by a 12v ignition source ( low current ) at pin # 86 Once closed , the relay allows high current draw from pin #30 , In this case it's from the battery. It should be from the alternator. IF all other wiring is factory

    The fans wired directly to the battery is your problem . When those things turn on they are sucking a ton of amps. You don't mention any upgrade to your wiring , so all that current is going threw the orginal wiring to power your fans which is running off the battery. My guess is your...

    Bypass the Amp guage in my 69 440 GTX?

    The guy is simply delusional. I see him attacking you constantly. Picking apart your grammar , which is obviously do to English being your second language. Then he replys with a cobbled up mess, of grammar and spelling mistakes of his own. And the absolute BEST part, turns around and...
