Thats the only one I have had trouble with. My son also runs the same PM one wire alt and his has been fine but my internal reg went bad twice. Ron

I am running the 100 amp Power Master one wire alt that is a Mopar alt that they build with an internal reg and I have it on my 63 Sport Fury. In 2 years twice the internal reg went bad and it stopped charging. I know it was the internal regulator as I jumped it out and the alt worked good...

Our older 60's and 70's Mopars have the alt output wire on a fuse link. The newer cars use a type of mega fuse. If the alt output wire shorts to ground with the eng off it will burn the fuse link out. When I rewired my alt setup on my 63 with my battery in the trunk I use a 80 amp mega fuse...

Thats right as GM and Ford used a resistor wire in the wire harness in the primary coil wire. Also as far as I know the resistor wire they used on their points cars and Ford used it on some electronic ign also is not temp sensitive as the Mopar ballast is. In other words the resistor wire stays...

I actually used normal size battery cable (6 gauge) for my alt output wire and have 3 body to eng grounds. One is 6 gauge and the other two are 10 gauge. Cant have to many grounds as I like to have more then one just in case one would break or come loose. My battery is in the trunk and I put...

I use a Power Master Mopar style alt on my 63 Sport Fury. Its a square back 100 amp style and it fits perfect with all the stock parts. Now mine was an internal regulator but I changed it to an external since it had problems with the internal reg. The only thing added to my car is an electric...

I really dont care if it was internal regulator or external as the wiring for the external did not bother me at all. I just like the 100 amp Mopar alt they sold and since it happened to be one wire so be it. But as said it seems that internal reg they use in that alt is not perfected yet. If...

I have been running the Power Master one wire internal regulator one wire alt for about 2-1/2 years now. At 8 months it stopped charging so I checked it out and the internal reg was bad as its easy to test. They sent me a new one and all was fine until last week when I ran my 63 for a bit and...

I take it that its not a normal dist setup. I have not read about it yet but will and if that is how it works then I apologize for me not taking the time to look into it. I was just asuming you were talking about a normal dist and did not understand it but it looks like I may be the one wrong...

The dist wont increase the timing when you put it in gear and vacuum drops a little. If the vacuum drops the vacuum advance will give less timing if you use manifold vacuum at idle. Using intake vacuum at idle has its good and bad points. Alot has to do with the combo as to how you use the...

Very well said about timing. Thanks. As said vacuum advance is basically for part/mid throttle when the eng can take more timing since the mixture is not compressed real tight and takes longer to burn the eng needs to start the timing earlier in that condition. So at part throttle the vacuum...

Thanks for the info. My brother has run MSD analog units since the late 70's I believe. I was running the MP ign on my mild street/strip car until I got a deal on the MSD 6AL digital unit last year as I have always wanted to go to MSD when I had the money. I will say in all the years my...

I am using the MSD 6AL Digital box on my 63 and its been working great. Been on my car over a year now and no problems at all and its working great. Ron

Yep the wiper motors are the same. Most manufactors use what they call a Governor unit that works with the switch potentiometer to work the intermitting wipers if thats what you are talking about ? Now two and three speed wiper motors are different because they work different most of the time...

Should be empty now. Ron

I mounted mine near the rad core support in the left front. Since my battery in my 63 is in the trunk I have a hot post on my firewall that the battery cable from my trunk mounted battery goes to and I take my hot feeds to the relays that feeds the headlites right of that hot post on y...

We all get jobs that end up being something we figure we should have got all along. One time I was checking a charging system on a Malibu as I was jumping the alt field to check for alt output and then I finally saw the alt belt was gone !!! Doh did I feel dumb but I just did not think it was...

Average coil that we use on the Mopar ign would be around 1 ohm on the primary which is the + and - terminals. Secondary winding around 10,000 ohms and go from the + to the coil wire terminal to the dist. Thats just average as without knowing the coil you have thats a ballpark for average...

I do agree with you about these ignitions. One thing I know is the ohm is also a good bit different in some MSD coils. When I worked as a tech which I started in 1974 I made a gradual rule of thumb when doing a quick test on coils as most were somewhere near about 1 ohm in the primary and...

That’s one thing I liked about the MSD. Easier starts with longer lasting cleaner plugs. The whole ignition system is a little pricey vs a MP set up. The extended period between spark plug changes is nice but not worth the cost which would never be recouped. (LMAO!) Though the changing of plugs...
