Overcharging 68Dart...need some short fused help (pun intended:)

I was referring to the back of the VR itself. Most have 2 to 3 wire wound resisters and if the right one gets shorted it might cause an issue don't know if it would cause your issue.

Maybe your VR is wired backwards.

The screw lug goes to the field terminal on the alternator (green in 67) . The slip on terminal goes to switched (blue in 67 - ignition)

Screw lug is a new direct wire to the field terminal on the alternator, the slip on terminal is now through a relay direct to the battery terminal because I saw a voltage drop from the battery terminal to the slip on connection of 1.5VDC.

I'll double check that the coils on the bottom of the VR aren't touching anything,

Thanks!
