Feasible, I have a gridtie system, and also regularly backfeed using a generator when my local utility goes down - but never both at the same time. I take great care to isolate from the utility mains AND my solar system before I do it (I'm a retired EE with some common sense) Where do you think...

What's the point of having a yard, if you can't take a whiz in it once in a while.....

You said it yourself: "In my case I have peculiar tastes in cars. And I only really salivate over something nobody else has." That's great, and it's nice to create something that suits your own tastes and desires................ until it comes time to sell it in the "mass market". Don't...

Thank you CarFreak, I downloaded the 68 Parts manual.

I would guess it will be the same one for my 68 GTS Dart. If you come across one (or the P/N), please pass me the info. I've tried with no luck so far.

I'm doing the same thing. I had to replace my Firewall bulkhead connectors (another story), and took the opportunity to run the control wire for the windshield washer pump motor per the factory electrical diagrams. Should be a brown wire run from the wiper switch thru contact M of the bulkhead...

Thx, 67Dart273. I think you are the one who gave me the info for the MAD mod to begin with. Now that the cluster is done, I can reinstall it and put the rest of my dash together. Since I had to loosen the steering column to remove the cluster - I went ahead and pulled it out, painted it and...

Yeah !!!! I finally worked up the nerve to disassemble my dash cluster, remove the Ammeter and replace it with a Sunpro Voltmeter movement - it wasn't that hard. I had done the MAD conversion discussed above (running the alternator output directly to the starter relay - so the ammeter wasn't...

I've searched the older posts, but no luck. ' My Dart wasn't orig equipped with the electric washer. The Wiper Switch is p/n 2864415 and does not have the "W" terminal used to power a washer spray pump. Somebody added the washer spray bottle, pump, hoses, but never finished the job. I have...

Thx for the tips. Autozone has the 1816 bulb specified.

Hi, can any body tell me the correct p/n for the radio lamp in my 68 Dart. It is a small bayonet type (push in then twist to lock). It has a three digit number, but I can only make out the first digit - 3?? It's definitely the bulb, as I have removed it and applied voltage - no workie.

Yes, I pretty much decided to nix the ammeter last night, going with "most' of the Mad mod. I'll still retain the J and P contacts in the bulkead conn to supply power to dash, etc. But at least they will now provide a parallel path for the load current. My car isn't highly optioned (and it is...

Well, like I said about my Dart.... I found a partially melted bulkhead connector, and a questionable barrel crimp lug - both in the high current paths - so you are both right. I am going to solder the studs on the ammeter (if I retain it). I remember having to do the same thing with an HVAC...

Thanks 67Dart273. That MAD article hits my problem dead center. I will consider doing the mod, and adding a voltmeter in place of the ammeter as some have done - if I can find a voltmeter that looks more at home in the dash cluster than this one does. It's a great idea, but I'm trying to...

Further investigation into the voltage drop showed that Pin J (+12V fusible link run from battery) and Pin P (Alternator Output) on the firewall bulkhead connector had gone high resistance and started melting the bulkhead connector. To make things even worse, a mickie-fix was done to the...

Meas #1, Battery + to the Vreg Ign term is 1.0 V, so I do have a drop in the harnessing as you suggest. Meas #2 Batt - to the Vreg frame is 0.0 V with no accessories on and 0.1 V with all accessories - so I have a good ground. I'll search for my voltage drop in the harnessing. I've seen some...

Thx, I'll give those a try tomorrow.

I've been working on a voltage regulation issue - 16.5 volts at the alternator stud and elsewhere. I figure that the voltage reg is bad because if I ground out the field wire, things settle down immediately to 12.8 volts (new battery). Anyways, I was trying to decide what brand replacement to...
