    Auto Parts Store Rebuilt Alternator

    My battery kept dying. I had replaced the battery as it was under warranty. Sears said it tested fine, but the case was slightly swollen, so they gave me a new one. I had my old alternator tested at Advance Auto Parts and they said it was bad. I bought a round back 60 AMP replacement as car...

    Bulkhead Connector-UPDATED

    Well yes LOL, but attention! Alt upgrade FIRST, then the bypass ( or parallel) path. BELIEVE OR NOT, the alt upgrade helps out on that more than you think, and more than the new path itself... why? Packard terminals are able to hold nicelly maybe around 30 amps, a bit more quite often if clean...

    Removal of Instrument Panel Bezel

    I have had mine in and out 25 times in my 67 GTX without dropping the steering column. Just be sure to tape the steering column several layers of protective masking tape to avoid scratching. Repair manual does not indicate need to drop steering column, but does recommend the protective taping...

    FOR TRADE 1973 b body ralley gauge set up

    I have a 1973 Ralley gauge set up. Complete with a full harness(some cut wires) and a full gauge pigtail that was cut at the biggest section. Full harness will either need a full bulkhead or bypass the typical melted part of ammeter wires. This is all you need to complete set up. Also comes...

    Alternator Wiring

    500stroker, I faced the same dilemma with my two 23 amp fans in my Be Cool set up. I initially ran them off of a separate Painless relay using the stock alternator. I couldn't keep the battery charged and was getting jumped just to get home from local cruises. Went with a 100 amp Tuff Stuff...

    100a alternator wiring question.

    on a 120 Volts system ( Europe is diferent Voltage rate so does the amperage but example works the same ) If you have a 15 amps breaker on your home you are able to plug on the AC wall outlet your cellphone Charger ( 1 amp ) and maybe a Hair Dryer ( which gets closer to 10 amps )... That...

    Electrical genius needed

    I don't know the new Hemi, but I know the first gen Charger wiring quite well. If there are ports on the motor that can be used with the stock sending units, you can easily make the oil and temperature gauges work. Just use the stock sending units on the new motor and retain/remake the original...

    Aftermarket Gauges, Not!

    I agree with you as not especially liking the looks of aftermarket gauges. But after just having a little hotter than stock motor built up for my 69 Road Runner, I wanted to know exactly what the oil pressure and water temp are doing instead of relying on an idiot light. I also did the MAD...

    Ammeter Bypass question

    70 roadrunner.... If I run an 8 gauge wire from the alt (batt post) to the starter relay (batt post) with a 12 gauge 30 amp fusible link. Then another 8 gauge wire from the starter relay (batt post) to the positive battery terminal again with a 12 gauge 30 amp fusible link I should be good...

    100a alternator wiring question.

    It is simply not correct to say that the car will not pull any more amperage; the 100A alternator will be able to push more current into the battery whenever the battery is not at full charge, and the beefier alternator will tend to keep the system voltage higher under heavier loads (like with...

    wiring issues 1972 Roadrunner

    If you bypass the ammetter gauge while keeping the stock harness setup, don't forget the black wire coming from the ammeter gauge with everything spliced into it feeds power to the turn signal, horn, fuze box, ignition key switch, and headlight switch. (look at the diagrams above) When you...

    What amperage altenator do I need?

    In addition, check out Mad Electric's web site--A TON of valuable information there on how and why you should upgrade the charging wire and eliminate the amp gauge. By the way, I have a very similar set-up--440/727, twin Spal fans, electric fuel pump, 900 CCA battery in trunk; I went with the...

    ez wire harness issues with ign/start

    nice. I figured I didnt need a fuse with a ballast resistor. And with only 12 easy volts coming of my ign 1 (run) of the switch doesnt seem like I have a short anywhere. But the ballast causing short makes sense! The solenoid wire is always hot (key off). No fuse to pull. Should I remove it...
