already posted on diagram. And yes, I’m pretty sure you can use the later amm onto the existant provision changing the face. Studs gaps is pretty much the same so no mods to the cluster… now diff stuff is if the A body amm is the same deepness than the 68-70 B body. Maybe will need to trim out...

This is not something you HAVE to do but just remember there is always a risk of melting the bulkhead connector somewhere in the future. So take it for what it is. The volt gauge modification would be perfect for this MAD modification if you bypass the amp gauge. You could then use a volt meter...

Many decades ago when I was a Chrysler Dealership mechanic in 1970, the electronic voltage reg. was on the 1970 cars. I remember grounding a wire on the voltage reg. wiring plug to bypass the reg. This would make the Alternator charge and meant that I had a bad reg. But being 5o years plus...

Thanks! I appreciate the reconfirmation! I think it's easy to get sucked in especially when the condition of reman alternators is such junk. In the past five years, I've taken back two to NAPA and one to RockAuto due to stripped pulley threads. Eventually I got a good one. But the...

I just wanted to reply and say, that in my case, someone who clearly admits that I know nothing about electronics other than shadetree mechanic, it was finally nice to find an actual diagram from Plymouth that documents how to do the bypass. There have been many debates back and forth with...

So, in regard to my discharge post a few posts ago -- I went out to the car this morning and I noticed that the ammeter was sitting on the slight left of zero that I thought was the discharge yesterday. So, I made sure that my battery was disconnected, and it was. So, I connected the battery...

The fleet/bulkhead by-pass as been diagramed/discussed here many times over the years, a few examples here. I’ve been by-passing the charging bulkhead connections since my time at the dealers way back when. No reason you can’t run added loads (including EFI) and retain the original ammeter as...

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...
