1968 Barracuda has 2 round interior lights that mount on each side above the rear seat and turn on when you open the door. The passenger side light is wired behind the back seat and connects into the harness with a T connector in the trunk right under where the gas filler tube meets the truck...

Seems almost impossible to find reproduction upper and lower rear chrome trim panels for my 1968 Barracuda.... Anyone know where I can buy new ones? I don't want used unless they are perfect and better than new. Thanks for the help.

Sorry guys, I have'nt been able to do the VR blue and green wire together test yet. I hope to get to it tomorrow morning. Thanks for the help.

I assume that if I get the higher voltage 15V + or - that will show the "new" VR is bad? or could it be something else? OK I will give it a shot tomorrow and let you know what happens. Thank You

VR is brand new and It is grounded to the firewall and I actually used a jumper and ran a ground from the screw on the case to the Neg battery ground on the block?

Not sure I get this AJ

voltage at the stud of the alternator is 12.1

Ok Guys here's what it is reading at the VR....Going to the blue lead at the VR-11.91V and at the green - 4.67V Let me know what you think.

I am going now to read voltage at VR blue and green wires and will post that in a couple minutes.

OK Guy's, I have tried all you have suggested with the same results, It is still not charging only reading 12.1 volts at the battery when running on a tester, will not get in the charging range, which is 13.8 to 14.5 on the charging system tester. The tester is new and I checked it on another...

Thank you for the feedback, I will try this and report back. Blessings

Ok Thanks I will give it a shot and let you know. I appreciate it.

I am using the old style, see attached photo's it was for 1969 & older. Kit, I also checked continuity with the 2 Field terminals and the body and there is no continuity. There is .01 ohms when touching the 2 field terminals. And for the test you want me to take one lead of my tester to the...

Hey Kit, Thanks for the reply. The alt has a wider blade "field" connector and a smaller blade connector. The stock wire connector fits the thinner blade. I have tried a different combination of switching those around and also using a jumper to ground them with no avail? Does it matter which...

I need some help figuring out why I can't get a good charge going. Here's the set up: 68 cuda with a 69- 340 in her. Just totally redone. all new wiring harness's from year one. The alternator is new and when checked on a store machine tests good and at 14.5 volts out, it is a double field alt...
