Hmm, wonder if I can find one 3/8 ID, 1/2 or so OD. Stuff like that is hard to find near me (Alaska). What are those called technically?

I agree beanhead, I'll look for a copper/crush gasket, not sure they make one that small, it's 3/8 ID, in the meantime I'll keep an eye on it and keep a couple rubber gaskets on hand. Toolman is correct, rubber is trouble, I found that out already.

Back again with another question, you folks are life savers! I installed a transmission drain plug on my 727, tightened the plug with the supplied O ring, and it leaked. Tighetened it s little more and split the rubber O ring. My question is, how much torque is required to keep that plug in...

Just not sure, is the connector for the grey and red wires in this photo a fuse link?

I have a 'square back' alternator, two field tabs, one of which I have grounded to the case. I've replaced the regulator and starter relay, tied the ammeter wires together and how have charging to the battery, 13.2 0 13/7V at idle. I will put a #12 fuesable link or two in the system, one from...

I ordered a 75A alternator, (thinking the original 60A was shot), no big draws in the system. It's my understanding from other posts that a faulty ammeter can be cause for the system to go dark, but maybe not associated with the charging circuit. I also have a new VR and starter relay on the...

I'm still researching how to bypass the ammeter, just tie the two sides together from the back of the ammeter? At my age my age (76) by brain sometimes goes to left field...lol If bypassing the ammeter and running another wire directly from the Alt out to the starter relay Batt terminal, what...

Thanks Jerry. This is a new alternator and it tested good. I assume something in the system is breaking the charge function to the battery since the alt is good. I'm just looking for ideas. The wiring is stock, only one green wire at the field connector on the alt and one heavy black on the...

The BH connector has been removed/bypassed, wires routed through the firewall to under dash. Haven't removed the dash to access the wiring there yet...

'64 Sport Fury with 440/727, new to me, rotisserie resto 10 years old. BH has been removed/bypassed, external VR, dash ammeter is not working. Car has quit on me, once while driving, total loss of electrical, no lights, nothing. Jiggled battery pos cable and it came alive. Shortly after while...

Where is this fuseable link? My '64 Fury dies on and off, complete voltage loss to everything and the pos battery cable wiggle wire test brings it back, no loose connections I can find and battery terminals are clean. Sometimes it will die sitting at idle. Also, it appears the BH has been...

Thanks for the welcome Dave

Howdy, lived in South Anchorage near the bluff from '76 until I retired from CES Elmendorf civil service in '09. Moved outside, TX and WA for 6 years then back up in 2016 for granddaughters wedding. That was all it took for us to move back, made an offer on a new construction home here in...

Thanks for the add, going to look at a 10 year old restoration '66 Charger, stock other than having a 440, my first MOPAR. I'll have a lot of questions, starting with how can I beef up the differential, it currently has a non-posi, not sure what size yet. Larry
