Under load I lose a volt or so through the dash. I looked at the alternator and regulator in a last ditch effort to confirm there wasn’t something wrong there before I went through the trouble of replacing the dash harness.
Ok, that makes sense, my battery isn’t exactly topped off so it sounds like I’m ok there. It’s a ‘69 charger and putting it together I replaced the engine harness and did the MAD electrical amp gauge bypass, and other then the usual issues with the bulkhead, the rest of it was ok. The keys...
That works, it’s what led me to look for bad connections. I took care of what I found at the time and it tested ok but I must have missed something because there’s still a voltage drop coming out of the bulkhead.
Thanks, my regulator is putting out 10v to the rotor, you had mentioned 0-7, I...
Thanks, it’s the newer electronic regulator, I had another I swapped in and it did the same thing, nothing seemed burned on the inside of either of them.
It will run if I remove the 12v feed from the regulator, I did have an extra one of those and swapping that didn’t change anything. I’ve checked all the usual suspects and I’m stumped.
Thank you, I’ll try and keep it short. I replaced a Mallory distributor with a Progression ignition unit which requires 12v all the time. I bypassed the ballast and all that and it ran good. A bit later I began to have a hard starting problem hot or cold and found low voltage at the coil. In...
I have a square back alternator that has one field grounded to work with the 1969 setup. How much continuity should there be between the two fields when measured at the slip rings with the brushes removed? The only spec I could find was 5-7 ohms and I'm at 1.7. Before I go replacing it I wanted...
There was a guy that was so desperate to join in the fun at the woods one day he backed his car up to the real tall curb and did a burnout in reverse. I don't remember if he poured beer down first but everybody there was like WTF?
