I have 2 field wires going to the alternator so I take it what I have is the regulator controls the field ground. So I’m good with just that then?

Thanks for the replies! Not to ask a dumb question but do I need to run a ground wire to 1 or not?

So I didn’t wanna do this wrong so I figured I’d ask on here. I know the temp wire goes on the intake and where the field wires go on alternator. But wanted to be sure were to connect the wire with the eyelet, to the stud circled 1 or 2? Here’s a pic of my wires and back of alternator. Thanks!

still looking for a non egr manifold and I also would need the choke assembly as well

I got a 70 more door cause of the price difference and I do have 3 kids so with a 4 door it’s more practical to go cruising in. Around here any classic 2 door ford Chevy or mopar goes for stupid money and usually don’t have a engine lol. I picked up my 70 dart with a 318 and minimal amount of...

Since I bought the car it has always started, not sure how healthy it runs lol but that’s why I’m working on it. I had an issue with over heating and that lead me to water pump, then thermostat housing and found the rust inside manifold so I kept digging to see what else I can uncover. Not to...

I’m looking for an oem 2 bbl intake for my 318. Don’t care if it’s dirty or surface rust, all I’m looking for is one with less rust inside the cooling passages then mine has and preferably one with no egr.

I carefully went and scrapped and picked what I could get out, I was careful not to get much on the cam, what little I did I shop vac’d up. It’s a start for now. I dunno if you can tell in the pic but I got a nasty amount of gunk and sludge out

Thanks for the tips and ideas, I want to spend as little as possible right now cause I just want to get it back on the road. I’m gonna carefully clean up what I can and see how it looks then. The rust inside the intake manifold where the thermostat housing is...would it be best just to replace...

Ya I figured that too lol, unfortunately the history of the car is a mystery for the most part. All I know is it hasn’t been registered since 1999 but has ran every few years, and I was told it’s a 74 318. Other then that I have no idea about anything else

So I’ve been working on my 318 and first I saw the thermostat housing had a lot of what looks like old rust caked in it. So I under advice to check out what’s going on under the intake manifold I just removed the intake. Im new to this all, I know the engines 40+years old and sat for who knows...

I traced the blue and green wire from regulator and found the missing wires! It was hanging down behind the motor. This is what I found, I see the black wire for battery and blue and green wire for fields, but what the heck is the brown wire for? (The wire I'm holding) is that the temp sender...

It is a 70 style alternator. It has labeled on back of it one terminal for battery and 2 for fields. I will look later when I'm off work but I don't remember seeing any wires laying around near it. So I should follow the blue and green wire that goes into the voltage regulator and see where...

So I have been working on my project 70 dart little bit. I realized a small leak from water pump so since there pretty cheap I went ahead and ordered a new one. So when taking everything apart I realized the previous owner just had the alternator mounted on there and had the belt on it but I...

Yup it's a 70. Did lil research, didn't know about flex fans till now. So I'm good with this set up for now? Flex fans seem to have iffy reviews though lol might just keep it till I have more money to throw at it. I'm not gonna be getting very high in the rpm range anytime soon anyway. Just...
