i am a technical trainer for a AG Company. I was a mechanic in the Air Force for 10 years. I've built plenty of old VWs and other cars but this is my first Plymouth. i bought it for my Girl Friend to drive with the kids in it since my Bug isn't quite big enough.

Location: Benton Ks

Welcome. Nice Fury.

thanks everyone. finally got it to actually run. I put a new alternator on it and it's charging at 17volts coming out of the alternator. but when I check voltage at the battery when it' running it' 14.6. does this sound normal to everyone? I'm not used to this style of alternator. I used to internally regulated alternators on my vws. thanks again

 

[LocuMob]

Yep, 14.3-14.6 is a normal range.

thanks at the battery? can anyone tell me if it's internally regulated or does it have a separate regulator?

Separate, it looks like this;

Cheap and easy to replace, it's on the firewall, passenger side of the wiper motor.

Ummm, not unless it's been upgraded - factory should look like this I think.

My bad, I did upgrade my charging system. I looked up a 70, remembered it was 66 and kept the wrong pic. Whoops.
