1968 Barracuda Notch 340
Dusted off the Cuda the other day, nice to have windows and seals. What a joy to drive, no leaks and perfectly functional. Even though all of my wiring is new I finally installed a charge wire from the alternator direct to battery and saw an immediate change in the ammeter behavior. The needle returned to center much quicker and was very steady ( and I always charge the battery before starting as an extra precaution) even at lower RPM’s. It’s nice to know that the charge current is no longer only routed through the harness and across the gauge.
