The power master has two fields, hot and a ground. Had to upgrade to a more powerful alternator, The twin electric fans drew to much current. Did find some corrosion in the bulk head connectors, cleaned and reassembled. The 1.6 drop was measured from the positive battery terminal to the ign. on...

Well based on everyones input, we tried step by step to find and eliminate the problem. We checked all grounds, ran a wire from the pos.batt to the ign. side of the ballast resistor, no effect. (While the car was running, we pulled all wires from the ballast resistor and the engine kept...

Thanks for everyones input, sounds like I have a good plan of attack. Will let you know what I find. Thanks again

As to the tie in for the radio, I just used the lead from the old radio. Don't know about running a bigger gauge wire from the alt to the amp. I just stepped up the alt for the elec. fans. The rest of the wire harness is stock. I think that the headlights are fine when I'm at a stop. I haven't...

The car was restored completely (10 months), spent several weeks at the frame shop and was brought back to spec's. Regarding the motor, It came with a harmonic balancer installed. The flex plate from the original 340 (Internal Balance) was used and matted up to a TCI Street Fighter torque...

You all have given me some places to start looking. The vibration started a few weeks after the restoration was completed. The motor is a 360 stroker motor from Indy and was internally balanced. Prior to restoration the car was involved in a rear end collision at 50-55mph. This sent the car...

Had a small block crate motor from Indy installed during restoration. Had to have the lifters replaced in this motor twice due to them installing the wrong lifters. The correct lifters are now installed, thanks to Comp Cams.

OK, I need your help. Have a 68 cuda which has developed a harmonic vibration at 45-50 mph. Had the tires rebalanced, the drive shaft and u-joints checked and spun, All good. When we restored the car, I had the original 727 rebuilt and matted up to a crate motor. You can feel the vibration in...
