    Ammeter to Voltmeter Conversion -- Existing Wire Question

    Nacho, I am trying to understand what you are saying here. First, I understand that you are adamant about keeping the stock ammeter, but some of us are not. I for one saw first hand the damage caused when my Grandpas 1970 Satellite burned up in 1984. Started at the ammeter. Second, I value...

    alternators ?

    I just swapped my old one wire alternator for a Denso alternator and it was a simple and very worthwhile upgrade. No lights dimming at idle. Puts out 14.3v at all times. It is internally regulated so you can bypass the old VR. I had already done the MAD upgrade and installed relays for the...

    66 Coronet Charging/Dim lights/ Issues

    Good Day My 66 Coronet runs great, does not charge, wont run with the battery negative off. Alternator tests good, new voltage regulator. I am stumped so far. I have a 66 Coronet with a 440 4 speed. I purchased the car this way. Changed from a 383 auto to a 440/4 in 1969. I have rebuilt the...

    Converting an AC car to Non AC - 71 Charger R/T

    That's incorrect. The alternator belt won't clear the water pump bolts. Shredded a belt trying this. The pulleys must be replaced. However, you can run the alternator directly off the crank pulley, IF you drop the alternator down to change the angle of the belt, and there are brackets to do that.

    Charger no charging (still)

    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...

    Alternator Wiring

    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...

    Charger Charging Conundrum

    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...

    Ammeter to Voltmeter Conversion -- Existing Wire Question

    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...
