I have had three '67 Belvederes. All of them had issues with the instrument panel ground. The dash lights would flicker out; then flicker back on when I tapped on the dash above the instrument cluster. Make sure that the metal ground strip on the top of the instrument panel and the metal dash...

I do believe that there is only one speaker output on your radio. You could splice into it and add speakers, but you will not have left / right balance or front / rear fader control.

So are you suggesting that 1)Mark Hamilton, the author of the first link that I posted was wrong when he wrote that the factory ammeter could be a problem? AND 2) That Richard Erehnberg, author of the second link that I posted, tech advisor for Mopar Action magazine for many years was wrong when...

I agree that the bulkhead connection is a big issue. Both of the articles that I linked mention that and describe how to fix it with solid soldered connections. I did not have to go that far because all of the terminals at the bulkhead were clean and tight AND once I bypassed the ammeter, my...

I don't think that you quite understood what I was trying to say. I did not say to disconnect the ammeter because you don't like what it is telling you. I was trying to say the the issue could be the ammeter itself and to check it in addition to the other items that had been mentioned. In my...

You don't have to be such a smart ***. I am just suggesting another thing to try if the items that have already been mentioned don't work. It makes sense to try the obvious easy things first; but it's been my experience that the first thing that you try, might not fix the problem. Years ago, I...

I have disconnected the factory amp gauge on my last few cars. The factory gauge is the weak link in the electrical system. Disconnect the two terminals and bolt them together. Make sure you wrap the bolted connection in electrical tape. Then install an aftermarket voltmeter.

Just a heads up, I tried one of these in a '67 Belvedere and a '99 Viper. In both cases, I got a whining sound from the ignition. The noise got louder as the RPM's went up. It worked fine in my Ford Focus work beater though.

Wire cutters, crimpers and solder? I've got a 67 Belvedere. My ammeter leads have little eyelets that are held onto the ammeter studs with hex nuts. I just bolted them together and wrapped the connection with electrical tape.

I would disconnect the ammeter and bolt the two wiring terminals together. The ammeter is the weak link in the charging system. Then I would have the alternator checked, (if any local parts stores still know how to do that.)

It was the shifter linkage. The safety switch was fine. Thanks to all who responded.

HELP!!! Working on a '67 Belvedere 318 Auto with A/C. My plan was to disconnect the ammeter, bolt the terminals together, and run an aftermarket voltmeter. I dropped the steering column down to make room to remove the instrument cluster. I Pulled the cluster out far enough to reach the ammeter...

Mine was easy to install 8 years ago and has not missed a beat since.
