1968 Dart ... Need wiring help
67Dart273 .... I had a message typed back to you but my internet went down in the middle of my reply ... so I see a reply above (#8) with no new text so my apologies. I will start again. Mario has sent some good data for me to follow, but you raise some questions in my mind. As I have stated to Mario, I am not a "wiring wiz kid", but I can and do follow detailed wiring instructions and I do want to be safe. Using Mario's advice I went and attained some information on Powermaster Alternators, which left me more confused. I seen many different amp outputs but I will stay at 90/100 amps per his advise. BUT there are 1 field, 2 field - internal or external or or internal regulators (one wire have internal regulators) some have "slightly larger cases", if so will I still be able to mount a slightly larger case using my same factory brackets??? In the details it states that the one-wire units turn on and off with the engine, not sure what that means as I assume that once you turn the key to the off position and the engine quits rotating then the then the alternator is no longer putting out power. This multi-wire system that you speak of, is it much more difficult to wire? My other 68 Dart has what I believe is a "Squareback alternator" and I have run this for about 6-7 years, (it was set up this way when I purchased the car). The 68 Dart that I bought about two years ago has whAT I believe to be what is known as a "round back alternator". I will try to post photos of both ... (hope it works).
Yay ... it worked !!I now see some dark spots on the square back on the ceramic, not sure if that is normal. I do need to get in touch with crackedback to purchase some of his wiring setups and get some information on wiring either the one wire system or the multi-wire system with out going through the firewall bulkhead connector. How do you contact a particular person such as crackedback on FABO?
