Vintage Chrysler electrical repairs and updates (part 2)
Repairing vintage Chrysler - Plymouth - Dodge starters
MADElectrical also has some good information on the subject.

...promotes as a “shunt wire” bypass is nothing new, has been floating around for decades before DDG. It’s a lazy conflation of the MADElectrical approach, but leaving the original charge path in place, circumventing the original circuit protection. As for this shunt wire bypass “Making...
SOME “good information”, bulkhead by-pass maybe. The problem with the MAD article that everyone likes to promote as proof that all Chrysler ammeters will spontaneously combust for no reason whatsoever, most readers miss the part about the article stating it specifically addresses the...
Never ceases to amaze how these old threads keep coming back to life with the same misinformation again and again. Madelectrical again, really?
Missed this one.
“No chance of any flames” with the “shunt wire” bypass? This described parallel alternator to battery wire run defeats any/all...
I had an all original 71 gt 351c 4v in 1991.
It was one of the nicest condition "old cars" I've ever had.
Some ownership notes-
I agree it's a "wallower" compared to the B body cars I've owned.
It's hard as hell to get the *** end up like the above photos.
I could only manage to get mine...
You are correct.......I often wonder WHY these old threads never die but continue to live in infamy (??).......a possible reason is the
concept in not understanding in the first place .....or.....the contributors just want to reiterate the same concept, time after time to show their cruise...
1984 Ram/Power Ram
IIRC has a lean-burn ignition system to on that org. 318
you'll probably need to bypass that too... Anyway for the 440 combo
Maybe call M&H Electrical Fabricators Inc.
they are Mopar harness experts

Mad Enterprises, guy who owns it is good on MoPar...
I do not offer the volt gauge. I recommend keeping the original look as well as using the MADElectrical to charge without ALL the AMPS going through the bulkhead/gauge which, as you know, burns Mopars down. I use the MADElectrical and then buy an inexpensive mini solid state volt meter to plug...
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.
Now what if some relays...
Caught 2 of TCM's Thursday Halloween specials-
The 1935 "Bride Of Frankenstein" (which was surprisingly good with also surprisingly good effects considering the time).
The final "mad scientist" scene is GREAT if you like period electrical gadgets.
and "The Other" from 1972. The host used the...
Hi folks, the welcome email suggested a post...so ah...here I am :)
As of 3 weeks ago, I'm the lucky recipient of a mostly original 69 Super Bee w/ 383 & 3 speed auto. I'm fairly handy with modern cars and have been a life long fan of WRC and the fun junk that comes with it. I've never...
I posted this in electrical but didn't get much response, trying here.
Having a little overcharging problem, 69 RR 383 4 speed, all new wiring for the whole car with the MAD wiring. At idle I get 14.4v to 14.5v on Dakota Digital gauges (matches volt meter at battery), when revved to 4000rpm I...
About the MadElectrical bypass? Just a few. Do a search on “ammeter”, plenty of past threads here on the subject, lots of opinions and some facts.
I’m running 130amp alternators, lots of added electrical loads (Including a Snipper/Hyperspark), correctly loaded on the alternator side of the...
Forget the OHM's. You need to test the circuit under load. It should only take 20 to 30 minutes to check it. Your problem is a constant issue which makes it easier to diagnose.
also for supplies try MadElectrical.com - Mad Enterprises
Mad Enterprises,
the guy (Owner, I forget his name now) likes to talk
& knows MoPars their issues & bulkheads or the connectors
maybe even some supplies still
schematics (?)/instructions to bypass the Amp meter
go to Dc 12 volts...
@Nacho-RT74
I agree with you. I don't see how the spring can grab if the wedge is in between the spring. I think it should be on the right side because during wiping the motor spins clockwise which would cause it to spring to grab the shaft. The cam needs to be longer at this time so it...
...topped off so it sounds like I’m ok there. It’s a ‘69 charger and putting it together I replaced the engine harness and did the MADelectrical amp gauge bypass, and other then the usual issues with the bulkhead, the rest of it was ok. The keys switch was replaced this last summer while...
