i need help soon.. electrical problem

Here is an electronic voltage regulator designed as a bolt in to replace mechanical type voltage regulator. The top pigtail will receive stock stile connector from pre electronic Mopars. I have used these devices before on my 67 in conjunction with two terminal ballast resistor, orange spark controller, and duel field alternator with one grounded field lug.

I also had over charging problems, but not caused by voltage regulator, but from trying to power an electric choke directly from high side of ballast resistor which caused a voltage drop in the circuit that the voltage regulator read as normal system voltage. Because it was reading low voltage in ignition circuit, it instructed alternator to put out more voltage to bring the system up to normal charge of 13.5-14.5 v. Actual voltage measured at battery became 15.7v which boiled the battery, and shortened light bulbs service life. I corrected the problem by installing a relay that fired off from ignition circuit, and powered choke directly from alternator’s power lug.

In order to check and diagnose any electrical circuitry one needs to have a few basic tools: Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) $10, test light with probe $6 (looks like an ice pick with a wire hanging off one end, and a light bulb in its handle), and a wire diagram of one’s car FREE. Don’t be intimidated by wire diagrams, They are just a map of your car’s circuits in pictorial form, listing wire color, and size.

Back to the over current problem:
Also you need to make sure all the ignition circuit devices have good ground with little to no voltage drop. This can be easily accomplished by making up a grounding circuit that connects to each chassis or outer body of the following: voltage regulator; spark controller; alternator, and connects to negative battery terminal with # 16 or #14 gage wire using crimped on eyes of a size that will accommodate bolts securing the above devices. This levels the electrical playing field so to speak for each device. You have heard the computer line: garbage in, garbage out, well it the same for electrical devices that regulate voltages, that’s why we need to eliminate voltage drop to ground.

Once you find and identify your regulator, and get a VOM, we will be able to provide better guidance.
