Good morning, Koosh. Glad you found the problem. Sometimes people wake up on the wrong side of the bed, as my mom used to say. Anyway, I'm from your neck of the woods, spent 10 years in New Milford before moving to Az. I noticed The Rebel is also in Ct. and there are a few others here on site...

Hey Jeff, any progress on this problem?

I think you have 2 separate problems. I recently went thru the same engine running and suddenly shuts down problem like the ignition key was turned off. 3 times within 5 minutes. It would start right up again. Was able to get it home. Only thing I found was the 8 pin ignition connecter under...

tomorrow was last Sunday, today is Thursday. What happened?

Data Plate, Sorry for this reply, I miss read your messages and thought you had " no bulbs at all " meaning that was your problem, missing bulbs.

When I had my dash pulled apart I replaced all the bulbs. The ones that illuminate the gauges were GE 1895 I believe. I could be wrong about this. The one thing that stood out was a lot of the bulbs no longer use the part numbers in the FSM and had to be cross referenced to another part number...

Has anyone used this nss and if so, what has been your experience. My current one is fairly new and leaking past the plasic part that's inserted in the metal body. It's no doubt the problem as I can wipe it clean and very shortly see more oil seeping thru. This is when the car is sitting and not...

Hey Fratzog, Thanks for posting the "WABC"radio clip. Was born and raised in Bronx and for 10 or so minutes I was 16 years old again. Probably heard those clippings when they were 1st aired. WABC was one of several very popular stations along with 1010 WINS which had Murray the K.

Hey Gary, don't know exactly where you are in troubleshooting this problem. Found on youtube a full field test for mopar alts with 2 field connections. " Testing a Mopar alternator and voltage regulator on the car". step by step instructions. This may help before throwing parts at it.

use the full field test to see if alt or voltage reg is working properly. If you are not familiar with this 'search forums' for "full field test". That's how I found my voltage regulator was not working. good luck.

Tino, You have to get somebody to help you there, in person. A friend, relative, co-worker, someone that knows about car engines and can show you how to go about fixing this problem. It is extremely hard to just try to explain how to do this over the internet.

Tino, Welcome aboard to FBBO from arizona. Looks like your car is in fairly good shape for 53 years old. Why are you showing a picture of the coil without a lead in it?

The leads from the ammeter can be bolted together and carefully taped so they don't short out anywhere. That's how my '70 charger runs all the time. I think all other functions should still be working. I'm not familiar with your gauge cluster and what switches for lights, etc. will go along with...

I switched to Pertronics Ignitor ll a few years ago from points, condenser, and ballast resistor. I learned back in the 70s that electronic Ignition was more reliable and had more powerful spark. When I got this car 5 years ago it was the original setup except the distributor had been replaced...

I had same question a few months ago when I was finishing up the dash install. Took a continuity check from several screw holes to the negative post on the battery and it was connected. Whew!

If you pull the ashtray completely out like you would when you empty it, you may be able to access it there. I have mine routed along side the steering column where I can get to it easily. You may also have to take out the ashtray assembly which is a few screws and disconnect the light and cig...

"Positive side of coil 5-ballast hot side 11.1 other side 5" ? I think ballast is dropping too much voltage. When in the run mode it should be about 9volts feeding the coil. Also 11.1 to the hot side seems low since your battery is 12.7.

Hey Nacho, Thanks for heads-up on this but it may be too late. When I got the car the dimmer switch did not dim anything, but all the lights on the dash worked. Was going to replace dimmer, at some point in time, until I saw the price of a new one. I will remove the 18g black #8 pin any way...

'70 charger, should the 2 steering column harness (plural) be routed under the column bracket ( as pictured ) or outside. It was originally routed under the bracket but the new ones seem to have too much volume to fit easily. I'm afraid of pinching or crushing some of the wires by forcing them...

It's all a part of Murphy's Law.
