OK Then... I did some looking on YouTube and found this electrical engineer that has a basic electrical course of 20 videos available. He does a good job at explaining basic electrical principles and progresses to more complex aspects, but it appears to be a great piece for folks that may be...

Sounds like you have the correct green wire. Not all regulators available are the same.. There are the original mechanical types and the more modern day solid state types. Both can look the same and do the same job, just using different methods. If your alternator is working properly, with...

Agree

I get that there are many folks saying they are "electrically challenged" but at some point, learning the basics might be quite helpful. IMHO the electrical in the 60's era cars were about as basic and simple as it gets. Chrysler, Ford or GM products... they all worked the same. Now, I must...

Cars in storage or winter. Hi pressure hose assy. next and in waiting, first project next spring..

Googling ACDelco 3342086 Alternator, pictures of that model shows a dual pulley and rear photos show 2 spade lugs. One spade looks like it's connected to alternator case and the other looks like it's insulated from the case. You may have had the regulators output connected to the wrong spade...

Just last month replaced the 5/8" return hose on my 66 Charger 383. Think it was the original hose, was leaking at the steering box.

Glad to her you got it going. You may want to consider carrying a "survival kit" and keep it in the trunk. Having the following items will get you going again if you have electronic ignition problems. Typical failures are likely one of the items listed. Spare good quality ECU...

Agree with Canadian1968, you have the "Orange Box" Mopar electronic ECU on the firewall. I also would agree that does look like a Firecore brand distributor. I'm running one on my 383. I would try a stock coil and have the Ballast resistor in series like it was originally. You might want to...

While you have the pump out, remove the rod plug and check your push rod and measure it. It should be 3.22, or just a tiny bit under 3 1/4" long. If not, you might want to consider replacement. I't is a common problem with the big blocks. To hold up the rod, you are correct with thick...

The control module creates the coils path to ground THRU the control module's large silver transistor on the front of the control module. The reluctor in the distributor goes into the control module and creates electrical pulses that switch that large transistor on & off mimicking the opening...

Replaced my starter 2 year ago with a remanufactured exact replacement starter. Car is original under hood, no mods. New unit worked perfect, but getting that top bolt in is a real bitch...

If you have the cluster out, I'd replace the original mechanical limiter with a solid state one. Not that expensive. If the original one fails it can burn up your oil, temp and gas gauges. Here's where to get it.. MOPAR Products

I would not describing the gauges in my 66 Charger as doing a full "sweep" as modern cars do, but rather a 3-4 second climb to about 3/4 of total needle movement and then they settle in.

You state "goes all the way to the full position then slowly back to zero"... Does the oil gauge show anything after startup and running for a while ? Was old sender indication nothing or providing strange readings ? With original mechanical gauge regulator, or.. if you have the modern...

Might want to check this out... 66 Charger, Turn signal repair

If you are rebuilding the front end why not replace the portion bars as well. They do get tired after supporting the car after 55 years.

Good for South America.

Tarriffs & trade issues... Hmmm, sounds like they are sourced from China ? Oh, right, they are the folks who make everything now..

Hi qkcuda, Note that that write up was about how I repaired the "original" turn signal switch in my 66 Charger. Although the electrical functions of a currently available reproduction type switch are similar electrically, there are mechanically different. Good luck with it...
