I have used Lectric Limited wires on my 66 Charger 383. Perfect fit, great quality.. Exact Reproduction Spark Plug Wire Sets for Classic & Muscle Cars

I did a write up on repair of my 66 Charger turn signal switch. Might be a similar switch to what you have ?? Here's the link.. Dropbox You can down load this PDF by using the down pointing arrow on the upper right of the Drop Box link page. You don't need to log in to download it.

That seems like a common problem with just about any replacement sender now days..

In a "66" Charger w/ 383, Battery negative to front drivers side of engine block, rear passenger side of engine block to firewall. Everything has worked just fine for 59 years. Countless thousands of cars manufactured exactly like this. I would think your concerns are a non issue.

Nice stuff..

I run an Edelbrock 1406 on my 383. I have had idle issues with this carb more than a few times over the years. Idle would become erratic, I would try and set the idle but idle RPM's would be all over the place, just was not as it should be. Saw an Edelbrock video on their web site that suggested...

So sitting here with family watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. A while ago read an article about about how expensive Helium gas is, made me wonder what happens to all the helium used to float the character balloons in the parade. Now I know... Happy Thanksgiving everyone !! What...

Not sure how a multimeter "on" the battery would get you to an amp reading ? What type of multi meter do you have ? Is it a meter that clamps around the main battery lead to read DC amps ? 70 amps is wire melting territory for stock Mopar wiring. What is your DC battery voltage measure...

Addressing your questions: As far as I know, I believe the only electrical difference between a 66-67 instrument cluster is the tach. In a 66, the tach sender electronics is an external small round can behind the glove box. I believe the sender in a 67 is actually in the tach gauge housing...

Yep... I'd check the fuel pump push rod length. Think it should be just shy of 3.25"

As Don suggests, If you have a voltmeter / multi meter, turn on the headlamp switch and test at the connectors to the head light buckets in front of the radiator. You should measure for DC voltage between cars chassis ( ground, battery - ) to the terminals of the headlamp bucket connector. If...

I don't have experience with a 65, but i'm guessing that your issue may be at the rear terminals of the alterantor ( amp meter) gauge. A short to ground on either wire connected to this gauge will burn up the link. In my 66 Charger, the 2 studs that come from the rear of the alt gauge housing...

Probably not long, but it would be a rather dramatic event..
