I had charging issues when I first got my '73 got on the road. I was reading 14v at the alternator and 12v at the battery. Turned out I had a few bad connectors and corroded wires. I was able to fix it with some new connectors and wire. I replaced the entire charging system with a Power...

Short answer, yes, as originally designed. As Nacho describes, the fusible link goes at the battery side of the charging circuit, normally at the starter relay. It protects the larger gauge unfused wiring from the current potential only available from the battery. No need for a fusible link on...

I would get a "one wire" alternator, or do conversion yourself. Then run new wire from alt to battery (unhooking old wires going to VR) By doing this you now bypass all factory stuff, and you should be good. As for the tach, I think the tack has to run point to run correctly, I have heard when...

Sure! is at each own decision but allways based on the correct statements and proceedments ;) between batt and starter relay? No need for that, The only EXTRA/ADDED protection with a fuse link there is the wire between starter relay and solenoid aside the solenoid itself. The load for the...

First place to rust is floors, front, towards the front of the door. Drip rails were poor design, plug up, water comes into the cabin from the front doors and sits on top of the floor under the carpets. Next place would be rockers, but I doubt you will see that in Arizona. Also the rear...
