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

Doubt it.

The over voltage is only a VR cir issue

Have you measured the voltage to the field wire when the charging voltage is 12 to 13 and again when it is 15 to 17?

Best guess is at 15 to 17 the voltage will be close to 11 to 12v. And when charging at 12 to 14 it will be in the 6 to 9v range

I haven't, but that would be prudent. I'll be sure to measure that when I get back to the grind with an ammeter inline with the load to the cabin!
And, well crap! I noticed that my voltage gauge and ammeter would both increase under throttle, to the extreme once the car was warmer...even before the cooling fan turned on. I had hoped that they were relative, but it sounds like you're saying that they are up to maybe a cutoff point as set by the VR?
Thank You!
