Yes, the rest of his original bypass is still done, only changing the placement of the second fusible link. I really don't understand which way is better or safer, and why. I did the conventional MAD bypass on my Road Runner and his new recommendation on my Super Bee.
What is the best way to bypass the factory amp gauge on a 1969 with a Talley dash. I upgraded to a 100 amp alternator.I know it is common for factory amp gauge wire to burn up. I really do not want to pull out the gauge cluster.Can I dissconnet the wire off the post of my alternator. Then...
Im thinking I should finally buy an Amp Clamp, for my little DVOM.. Wonder how many AMPS these reman alternators actually put out?! It may say "55" "60" "70 amp" on a lable or website, but hell could be pushing 100+ ?! Hate to think of that..
That would have been a next question, who to trust...
So one guy says run straight av gas No problem. Except you need an electric pump.
another says any mix change requires a jet change Or it’ll run like crap.
Others say use 25%-33% av gas no problem.
the adjustment screws are for the idle feul mixture. wont do anything for cruising AF ratio...
Simply offering the OP my real experience and suggestions to head off any issues and frustrations. Been running this stuff for years in everything from 100 year old tractors designed to run on kerosene, model T's, muscle cars, and lawn mowers. Please share your results. Or be a sanctimonious...
1972 Plymouth Satellite
Seller's Description
-Running and driving project. I have enough parts for you to put two of them together. All comes with the car. I built the car how i liked it so it has a lot of non original touches. 71 interior, LED headlights, dash lights, and turn signals. I have...
EXCELLENT SYNOPSIS.......but....you forgot to add: NGK spark plugs vs Champion vs AC vs Autolite vs E3 are best, manual transmission lubricant, DOT 5 vs DOT 3 brake fluid, best wax to use, best windshield wiper fluid, best beer to drink, nitrogen vs air in your tires, AND....whatever material...
Everything depends of nature of your resto. Some upgrades are adviced, like the bulkhead bypass or parallel path and alternator upgrade, and of course MANTENIENCE ( yes electricals needs a deep checking after 60 years of use and abuse, just like brakes, engine, body... ) but the ammeter bypass...
Thanks, but I can't go this route, already bought the alternator. I did buy 8 GA wire to the starter relay with a 12 GA fusible link. This was recommended for a 95 amp alternator.
So, a while back I upgraded my 67 Belvedere to HEI, and this weekend I'll finally get around to pulling the harness and removing all the unused wires from the old ignition. I've also been reading up on ammeter/bulkhead bypass and figure this would be a good time. Seems like there's a lot of...
What I do is 1- bypass the ammeter and convert to a voltmeter. 2-Install a one wire alternator and a power feed like this direct to the battery. https://www.painlessperformance.com/wc/30700 3-Install headlamp relays to eliminate headlamp draw through the car harness. 4-Either replace your old...
I converted mine to MSD atomic in 2015.
The atomic is connected directly to the battery. Atomic has the ability to do pulse width modulation on the fuel pump which helps a bit with noise and power draw.
I have electric fans as well (3) and my alternator goes through the ammeter.
I haven't had...
What was the solution? I attached my EFI to the drivers side of the Ballast, until I find a better location. I also need a separate location for the EFI Ignition.
I also converted my Alt to a Volts gauge and was going to connect it to the back of the fuse box to a switched connection, since I...
bypass or parallel paths....a circuit cannot be bypassed and at the same time parallel (to what?)..be descriptive in terms of drawings, photographs and calculations to prove your point. The alt able to source 45-55 amps at iddle.....first, iddle is not a word and means nothing. The...
I purchased a 4 light harness for my 72 Satty and couldn't be happier. I am running a wire from the alternator to the starter lug (ammeter bypass) so my harness was custom. Harness was very well made. Install was straight forward. I did have a question about my install because the instructions...
Molested to me is these and calling it a “restoration”
Aluminum radiator
green axle bearings
Amp meter bypass
One wire alternator
White face gauges
Hood blackout in white
Welded up box mufflers
Mini starter
LED bulbs
GM HEI beach bucket distributor cap
TTI headers and 3” pipe

FOR SURE!!! He took the time to do it right! I've re-wired a lotta MoPars over the years, most owners that have the money don't wanna deal with it. Wondering what brand that dash harness is? Doesnt look like an M&H. Great lookin "Birdie"! And looks like he KEPT the AMMETER!! Big Kudos to the...
just adding info... this would be the TIPICAL ammeter external shunt wire diagram. Some cars got some other splices to feed around some other devices, but this would be the tipical basic configuration.
As everybody can see, STILL on these ammeters setup, EVERYTHING is still feeded from the alt...
I guess I didn't need "pretty much." It's all stock, from what I know. For example, I don't know for sure that the ignition switch has never been replaced. I got the car in 1988. It might have had some changes from 1972-88. But the alternator, the MAD ammeter bypass and the headlight relays are...
Thanks Bob. The MAD ammeter bypass was done as described on their website. I got the headlight relay and wiring from FBBO member Crackedback, who sells them. I got the Powermaster 95 amp alternator because my stock alternator died. It's a two-wire squareback style. My multimeter isn't a Harbor...
