'67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash
Correct. Those diagrams aren't generally meant to be followed. They cover everything. When a problem needed a diagram the tech was expected to copy or trace the circuit of interest. That's described here for example

I'll give you the factory layout to save you some of that trouble. You can check it to be sure the details are correct.
One problem with one wire systems is the regulator only knows what the alternator output voltage is.
Next time when its running measure alternator's output voltage to earth. Then compare that to the battery voltage to earth. They should be the same, but if there is resistance to flow the voltage will drop as the current flows through the resistance.
Not a ground short or the fusible link would have burned up.
I think its indicating the battery is low on charge and the alternator is providing 20 amps at 13.5 Volts.
Put the battery on a charger and/or have the battery load tested.
Aftermarket gages usually are connected to a '12 Volt' source. Question is what was tapped into?
Factory location for the optional tach was an additional fuse in the fusebox. If all the fusebox slots are filled, maybe that's what they did. My guess is they were more creative, as most of us were at one time. :rolleyes:
because all these problems started recently, lets assume the wiring concept was working. Execution may be a different story.
Two clicks on means the short is most likely in the tail light circuit.

Guess what, you're going to have to trace the main circuits and then see what they did.

Well at the moment it doesn't seem to be doing a great job.

Yes the first. It could be a cross wire short or additional circuit wired to the battery adding an additional load.
