Is it just a mess under the hood ? The wiring pretty basic on these cars no reason you can't fix it. That's what I'm gonna do to mine. Here's a couple of places I just googled they seem to have the parts you may need. Mopar Restoration and Performance A-BODY ELECTRICAL, Wiring Harnesses...

Excess is better than not enough. But if you only got a 100-150 amps worth of electronics no need spending extra money on 200-300+ amp alternator.

You can figure the amp draw from everything and add it up, to figure the size of the alternator, battery is to start your car alternator powers the electronics. Stereo alone can eat a lot of juice, 1000 Watts rms / 12 = 83.33 amps obviously that's cranked and at music peaks. To figure out the...

Test light and a wire diagram, start at fuse then headlight pigtail and work your way to the switch.

A 1000w is about 75 amps so about (75+60) 135 amp alternator. Look for ones with good output at idle.

Here's some images I found might help, someone better than me would need to talk you through it. I'm good at getting places bad at giving directions :) Modified probably similar to yours Stock ones armature bypass

This guy got a bunch of video's on basic car circuits

I got to do similar to mine, I'm gonna start from scratch and design my own under the hood wiring, I don't know how good you are with wiring, I'm ok, with a little thought and research I can get it done, there's only a few circuits to deal with, you probably want some version of modified stock...

Are you actually having a problem with his wiring or just don't like the job he did or want to make it stock etc.. ?

On the top side is a power bar can tap in there run you own fuse and switch, Or with a relay/fuse and run a wire from the light switch to turn on relay.

Probably to options you don't have.

This guy breaks down the circuits, you could keep parts of it, but your gonna end up redesigning it. https://www.youtube.com/@RattyMuscleCar/videos

I looked into fob's how I came across self latching relay, like the door lock battery idea, get a four door solenoid set use one of the extras on a cutoff switch plus probably rig a shifter lock with the other one.

If relies on me to shut it off every time I'll forget to Making it pointless :) If they tow it guess it's theirs.

I'm rewiring the whole car the battery and fuse blocks and relays will be in the trunk, under the hood will be very minimal wiring. Was thinking of run two kill switches fuel pump and starter relay hidden in different spots, plus thinking of a way to use some kind solenoid to lock the ratchet...

That's why i think a self latching relay is the way to go, you'd turn the key to the ACC position then push the button one like hemi71x described would be kool which would arm/latch the relay then turn the key to start, but everytime you turn the car off it unarms/unlatches and needs to be...

Gonna do a rewire job with trunk mounted battery to my car this winter and been looking for wiring anti-theft ideas, a self latching relay with hidden button trigger kill switch seems like a good option anyone install one ? How did it work out or is there better options/ideas.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07K213LMY/?tag=fabo03-20 I bought this from amazon for when I do my wiring, haven't used it yet, was only like $30

Bought that plan on doing same idea.

True makes sense

I would make a sealed enclosure on the inner fender for it.

I’m need to rewire my 68 Valiant plan on using aftermarket fuse box and wiring kit, is there any reasons not to mount the fuse box under the hood ?? Would like easier access then under the dash.

Same, will running MSD and Holley sniper efi. Plus I bought an under the hood 6 relay/fuse box to run lights/horn/fan etc...

That would be helpful doing my car over the winter.

Probably the connection at the bulkhead. Some bypass the old power and run a thicker wire from the battery straight to the fuse box. But it's just a process of elimination. There's got to be a break some where between the battery and fuse box.

I bought a wire kit ($300) to do it myself. If you can wire a stereo you probably could do it yourself. Just do a lot of research. There's not to many circuits to deal with.

But not a stocked alternator at least up here in Can A Duh lol. And from what I read not the best circuit why Chev stop using it.

I thought about going one wire since I'm rewiring the whole car anyways. But decided to stay with stock alternator and regulator since it really simple circuit and can get replacement parts anywhere. Which is a big thing for me since my car is gonna be a driver.
