Can someone help? I need to drive my dart tomorrow
Hey guys. So today was driving my 65 dart home from work. Doing about 75 on freeway. I have the slant 6 225 and everything is stock besides Petronius ignition. No radio. All stock gauges work. Well, the ammeter was reading off the scale in the positive direction and when I hit the off ramp, smoke was coming from the dash!
I shut if off and felt the wire and it was hot. I also grabbed a picture. The red wire is intact but the insulation is burned and where the connector is is black too. I just bought the car last month. The ammeter gauge is extremely sensitive and I’m not sure why. It does have a remanufactured alternator but I do know how many amps. It has a green wire and black wire going to it. Can you guys point me in the right direction on what’s going on here and how to fix it?
Also, I need to drive the car to work tomorrow, is there a way to safely work around this?
