upgrading regulator
Joe/67dart273/all, hope this will help: 1967 dart with a 69 340, upgrading alternator for low idle (which is what ate up my bulkhead with heat with the 37 original alt). 67dart273, you helped me with this many moons ago. I have done the bypass, gotten relays on the lights with wire around from crackedback, replaced red and black under hood to 10 gauge up to the bulkhead with new packard clips. replacing all heated/hard wires that I can find. went with a new powermaster alt 90, now upgrading to (yes 67dart273) a newer 70/later regulator as the car already has electronic ignition. here's the old schematic:
but now that I study this, I realize I have other wiring for the electronic ignition, so I will have to look that up (or do I?, I know the knowledge is right here).
after replacing wiring under the hood, I found the female side of the bulkhead had heated up to the point it would not hold the female connectors (black of course, but heated enough that the yellow wouldn't hold either). found tell tale signs of someone else fixing this at one time or another. I did at that point push those two wires through the whole bulkhead and make a butt connection. crude? yes, but it will have to do for now. (see pic's)
