Hello FABO, I have a 1972 Plymouth scamp with the original vinyl top, and there is clear rust damage on it. I was hoping to be able to replace later down the road, but due to this weather and rain, the rust has only gotten worse. What I'm looking for is just the metal roof for my car, or a dodge...

Well the alternator was the problem, it was shorting itself out internally. So I had it replaced, bench tested the new one, and it passed. It was 13.7v low and 15.6v as the high, it worked for about an hour. And then the problem came back.

My old alternator and the new alternator are both squareback ones, like the one on the right in the picture above

True, but at least I have some good leads to start from

But it only happens when the lights are on, if they are off then its dead center. Could it be the lights causing resistance somewhere or is it something else? The battery is 12.68 when idling and 12.93 when brought up to 1700 rpm.

Well i know of those two, but I'm not sure if there are any other ground wires somewhere else.
