    I'm really starting to hate headlights

    I have to agree also. As for headlight standards I think somewhere in the recent past they were lowered or ignored. Case in point my 2014 Tundra has the worst light pattern , Can't even see reflective street signs a block away or the road over 40' out. On the other hand my 2006 Scion XB has...

    1966 dart factory charging system up grade ?

    My ammeter failed a few months after installing a 60A alternator leaving me stranded 30 miles from home, the quick fix was to move one wire to the other post on the ammeter thus completing the circuit and I was up and running in ten minutes . When installing a higher amperage alternator do that...

    squareback alternator wiring in pre 70 car issue

    One other thing to consider it the later alternators put out much higher amperage then the original and the ammeter can't handle that for long before it fails and leaves you stranded . Run a 10 gauge wire from the alternator to the starter or battery to carry the load. By pass the ammeter by...

    What Wire Covering?

    The original was wrapped in black tape . So ... you could do that or use the spiral wrap or your hated the convoluted covering. The one advantage of the convoluted is you can easily access the wires. Besides it comes in colors other then black and in chrome. Or you could hide the under hood...

    Voltage Regulator Issues!!!!!!!

    BTW that square back Alt puts out way more amps then your wiring and ammeter can handle at full output . You should bypass the bulkhead connectors and run a 8 gauge wire with a maxi fuse near the battery directly to the alt from the battery. Also add a maxi fuse near the bat and run to the...

    New Member with charging issue

    Check the bulkhead connectors. They are a weak link in the charging system. Battery to bulkhead to ammeter, ammeter to bulkhead to alt. With age resistance goes up and the connections overheat and melt the bulkhead in both locations. Best to wire bat to alt directly and use a volt meter to...

    Burning up ballast resisters

    Be sure that both elements of the resistor are filled with the white ceramic. Look at the back side of the resistor. Does the Orange box have 4 or 5 pins ? The Accel coil could be the problem.
