I recently installed a Painless wire harness. It isn't too bad. They also make a custom gauge harness. If you want to use the original gauges I would recommend finding the schematics for your car and wire it according. It took me ruffly 16 hours to install the kit, and that was with tearing...

C39, So how would I hook up a one wire alterator with an internal voltage regulator?

I have continuity from alt to engine, and engine to battery, and I have the grounding strap from the engine to the fire wall. I also have the march pullies and brackets, I am wondering if maybe there is not good enough ground. should I run a grounding strap to the alternator from the engine?

No, I eliminated the voltage regulator on the firewall. It has just the internal voltage regulator. Could it be that the alternator isn't grounded well enough?

Should the Alt wire be a constant battery hot?

Could the regulator be bad already? I just got this alternator like 4 days ago

I did install a one wire alternator before I changed out my harness and it was killing the battery as well. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

I am running MSD 6AL ignition. An aptima 800CCA red top, and I installed a Panless Performance 14 Circuit mopar harness.

I haven't checked if my coil is warm.

I put the one wire on through the kit that Painless sent me. That killed the battery, and then I took that off and just ran one wire straight to the starter relay like it was origanally hooked up and that is killing the battery when off as well.

:angry6: I Have a 1974 Dodge Dart with a 360, I recently rewired the car with a painless wire harness that wasn't so painless. I also installed a one wire alternator. Ever since I put the one wire alternator on, it is always killing my battery. I come out side to go to work this morning and...

Car looks good. My dart was undercoated so yes it is normal. Looks like you need to rebuild the front end. That upper ball joint looks worse for wear. Also I would look at changing those front brake hoses. other then that looks like a good car. One question. Where is your voltage...

Does anyone know where I can get full quarters for my 74 dart that I am converting into a 72?
