Sometimes, aftermarket or dealer installed A/C SYSTEMS use either YORK or Borg-Warner or Tecumseh 2 cylinder units. They use a unique valve hose assembly called a ROTO-LOC, and not the typical Mopar setup with Schrader type access valves. The Sunden type unit will require different mounting...

You DIDN'T "Bypass the Ammeter" I PRAY! These KIDS are FUBAR with that crap. Amperage Is KEY. Just sayin.

That’s a great tech synopsis

The “push” occurs when a car has been sitting, which a lot of these cars are not being driven daily. The cranking will lower the battery charge and the newer high amperage alternators will deliver higher current than the wiring was designed to handle. Couple that with the deterioration of the...

Wanted to provide a quick update as there was a lot of responses to my question. First off, crackbacks headlamp relay kit fixed my light issue. My dud alternator did not have enough juice to keep them on however. I wound up going with a 65amp alternator from Napa that has a lifetime warranty. I...

Main ignition power. Check for shorts at alternator and dash Ammeter. Check if fusible link burnt. If the short happened while the engine was running, the fusible link just stops Battery power, but not the Alternator power. On some of my cars, with high output alternators, I bypass the dash...

Is it possible to do the bypass but add two leads up to the ammeter? That way would the ammeter still work without all the strain on it.

Good to read the relay kit helped. The increase in alternator amps really isn't for the max output. Usually the low rpm output levels are increased. As others have mentioned, you want an alternator that puts out adequate energy at idle to allow all the requested power to be satisfied, WITHOUT...

Stock wiring? If these described added loads are not directly connected to the battery while running a stock charging system that includes the ammeter, connected instead to the alternator, there will be little impact to the stock wiring while the vehicle is in operation. Takes little effort to...

:lol:

Troubleshooting steps (all measurements taken with engine running): 1 - disconnect the regulator output "FLD" wire that goes to the alternator. The alternator should not charge, and no voltage should be seen at the alternator field connection. This will make sure the harness has not been...

Thank you so much! It looks like.. if I understand this all right, which I think I do.... A) The factory alternator wiring will stand as it will feed the horn relay (violet) and "splice 1" (black) of the dash harness. However, I will add a fused #6 from the battery positive over to the...

I am new to B bodies but not to Mopars, I have a factory service manual but cannot figure out a couple of vacuum lines and wiring oddities I have found in the engine bay. I bought my ‘67 Barracudas in ‘91 and still have them but they did not have near the electrical voodoo going on as this SSP...

It all depends on what you're doing with the car. Unless you're adding loads to the system (electric fuel pump/fan/water pump, more lighting, hot stereo/amp etc) then the factory wiring is fine IF it's in good shape. Check the connections and feel the wiring to make sure it isn't stiff or...

I tested the ammeter and sure enough she shorted out in the process it also ruined the alternator and the voltage regulator... I think you might even be able to see voltage regulator got so hot so quick it melted the circuit board inside and even looks like she leaking hahaha

Was Ammeter not working?

I get that, it’s a load dependent piece of equipment just like you explained. The problem is at idle 850 rpm it goes to discharge with only the ignition being used, no other loads placed on the system, no fan, lights etc. the alternator I ordered claims 100 amp and more than 30 amps at idle, so...

For my 67 Charger, my ammeter gauge is working fine I doubt if I can find a voltmeter that could be a close match. I've already upgraded the headlights to LED and plan on doing the same for all the bulbs in the car. That should have less of a draw on the cars wiring. How much of a draw could...

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.......personally, 90% of your audience does not/cannot understand what you've presented......only words like: ammeter shunt wire, one wire alternator systems, short circuit protection seems to sink in or partially understood.....taking into account the words of others...

If you’re worried about the amp gauge getting hot and falling, the easiest way to bypass it is to take one lug off, and put them both on one stud. But yeah… the bulkhead connection is a bad design, even when new with the 35 amp alternator. I had a ‘69 Fury I PK41H9 VIN, Police package that the...
