Well crap, I didnt think the 440 would bolt to the 318 trans just being hopeful. I will investigate taking apart the brake drum but as I recall I don't remember seeing anyway to do that. I also seem to think I remember reading that it was actually attached to the transmission rotating assembly...
I recently have had the opportunity to purchase one of my dream cars a Dodge Coronet 440. It currently has a 318 in it. Quite some time ago I purchased a 440 out of a motorhome to go into a 64 valiant. My question is really 2 fold.
First on the 440 is a "brake" on the tailshaft of the 904...
My point was NEVER to duplicate the broadcast sheet it was simply to give people a place to "document" their car. Sure I could probably make it look similar but never exact. Whether they matched the original broadcast sheet or not was never the point. This idea never got traction though so I...
Which models will interchange hoods? I know 64-65 Barracuda or Valiant will interchange but will any other models? I need a hood and shipping is INSANE.
I just bit the bullet and replaced the alternator and voltage regulator with the newer late model "square" backs. I am getting good charging and PLENTY of amps. I went with a 78 amp unit.
So I pulled the alternator off and I get open on the each ground to field and about 22.4-22.9 ohms of resistance from field to field. I double checked the voltage out again and it is still floating around 11.7-11.9. I am ground on the thermostat body bolt. I checked across the lugs of the...
Ok so I did forget to remove the second field connection which was to ground. I tested again after and I got open from field 1 to ground and field 2 to ground. Based on what your original post asked me to do you want me to measure the resistance on the wire from regulator field to field...
I guess its time to upgrade. I misread initially what 67Dart273 said and I measured from the field on the alternator to ground and I got exactly 0 resistance or complete short. I also tested the output on the lug and got about 11.94.
Well time to shop what year did the new voltage regulator...
Yes the second field is grounded as is the regulator. I am getting voltage on the ignition side because I am able to start the car but the battery is not charging most likely from the low output from the alternator.
