It was Richard Ehrenberg who wrote it. The guys a frickin genius maybe I’m remembering it wrong but I’ll try to dig it up. Just seemed crazy to me when I read it so I never forgot it. Who knows?
I think you are remembering wrong.
I might be... I think he was saying it about B bodies in particular. The brake warning light bulb. I’ll find it I’ve just been working 14 hour days so the only real goof off time I get is to pop in and see what is up with all you guys while I’m in germ jail waiting to be cleared onto a job site. Believe it or not the only 2 places I cruised right into no problem were the Ridgecrest hospital and AV college both w generator issues. I guess they were just happy somebody’s still working out here. I’ve been getting home about 830 and falling asleep w my shoes on Lol!!!
I usually order mine from the Watertown,NY store and buy 2 or 3 at a time to make it worth their time shipping it in and save me time crossing the border and doing repairs on other Mopars that I get requested to fix.
Have you changed over to electronic ignition? Or do you keep your points? I was thinking of changing mine over
Summit Electronic ignition kit included the orange ECU distributor and pigtail.
I bought the new style regulator from a guy on this board for my 69 it works great. I run points and I had an old school shop rebuild my original alternator. Finding an old untouched one can be hard but if you can take it and get it rebuilt and you’ll never be sorry. It’s the only way to go I’ll never buy another from a parts house unless my back is against the wall and even then I’ll be damned if I give them back my core.
I agree with that. My alternator is my original...well it's the right type, I can only assume it's original as it looked like it was. I had it rebuilt just for the sake of reliability. At $50 for a full rebuild and repaint, I wasn't saying no.
I like some of your ideas. I'm thinking of doing some of that as well. I don't like the idea of the entire charging system running through 1 gauge. I was thinking of adding a thermal block and extending the wires to the gauge so that it still works and the rest are ganged together properly.
Go to Richard ehrenbergs page moparaction.net or on allpar. The guy is a Chrysler genius.
Lol... That's what I've been reading the past few days since my initial post. Great stuff. What gauge did you use and is your ammeter still working? Says it won't be as accurate, which is fine, I just want it to work for the sake of it being there.
I opted not to use an aftermarket volt gauge.
Thats too bad. I usually pay 24 to 27. bux per regulator in the past.
