Yes, I cannot express enough my thanks, appreciation, and gratitude for the help and expertise received here! Never mind the fact that this is FABO, and my original post/cry for help concerned A CHARGER !! :) and, in full disclosure, I made the post for my son, down in Brooklyn, who phoned me...

So I feel like an idiot--- once I unhooked the tach wire from the cool, she fired right up... This after I bought and installed a replacement coil. Now why the hell would a tach wire kill all spark? With the new coil on, I touched the tach wire to the negative post on the coil just to see if it...

Update. New orange box ecu installed. STILL no spark!! The ecu is definitely ground too. What should the voltages be at the distributor two-wired pickup leads? Thanks for any help!!!

Thanks for everyone's help and assistance. 67Dart273--I love that gizmo you got there!

Had to tow it home! Ordered a new orange box. Maybe I shoulda gotten two!

With the key in the run position, I see 1.5 volts between the coil's "plug wire" and ground. Is that normal??

Dang! Yes the box is grounded. Any way to check its operation??

71 Charger 440 mopar dizzy orange box msd blaster 2 coil. Car just died going down the road. No spark. With key in run position, Have 9.4 v at dark blue wire at ballast resistor, 7 v at brown wire at coil. Battery shows 12.5v. A spark plug held against a ground shows no spark when cranking. Any...

A tee fitting is exactly what I have wound up doing. There was barely enough room but it fit in there and doesn't look too bad. Instead of both sticking out to the sides, I have a 4" nipple into the block, then the tee, oriented so that the large Auto Meter gauge is sticking out to the side...

You are correct, Sir. It is Auto Meter. And I emailed them with the question, and their response was that their sender and the Mopar sender are very different. Oh well! I'll do it a different way. Thanks all!

I'm in the process of installing an MSD Ready-to-Run distributor (with built-in programmable rev limiter) AND an AutoGage tach. The AutoGage tach has a shift light, and supposedly when you power on, the tach momentarily sweeps up to where the shift light is set (e.g., 4,000 rpm) then goes back...

I'm installing an AutoGage 0-100 psi oil pressure gauge, electrical sending unit. Instead of the sending unit that came with the gauge, I want to use the Mopar Part No. 53030493 dual sending unit that controls both a gauge and an idiot light. I have the resistance curve for the Mopar dual...

You are the MAN! I've noticed that you alwAys pipe up with spot-on electrical advice. I was hoping you would see my plea for help. I'll remember your lamp suggestions for next time. For now, I figured it must be the alternator. It's my son's '72 /6 Dart. Last fall, I gave him an old alternAtor I...

Last fall, we fried the fusible link when putting in the a new alternator with the battery still hooked up. D'oh! So now, we have everything squared away with the new fusible link and when we hook it all together, and attach the battery, There is a spark at the battery, and the fusible link...

All this great info is making me re-think things. Like I think I will use a 10 ga fusible link at the alternator end.

Yes, Mr. Grissom, I Was thinking about putting it in series with the wire from the alternator to the starter relay. I've never seen a 160A fuse!

Thanks for all the thoughts. My wiring is in excellent shape. I, too, disassembled my bulkhead connector and cleaned all the terminals by carefully sanding with 320 grit and even dipped the ends in muriatic acid for a few seconds--really takes it down to bare brass. And I put it all back...

My plan is to continue to use my red and black wires with fusible link at the bulkhead connector and splice red and black at the ammeter, leaving it dead. My BC is in great shape. I have a '71 non-rally dash (boring) and thinking of converting the ammeter to a voltmeter must may just hang the...

I'm doing the typical ammeter bypass using a fat 8 gauge wire from alternator to starter relay (overkill?). I want to use a circuit breaker as opposed to a fusible link, so I don't have to worry about having a spare. Is this a good idea? What is safe amperage for 8 ga? I'm thinking of...

Thanks. I made an order last night from Genuinedealz. Looks like good stuff, and they have a great selection of stuff.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking about the Rev-N-Nator but they seem to be in short supply. Mancini says available in December.

Hello FABO Friends--does anyone know of a good source for quality wire that can hold up to under-hood temps and conditions? I've had mixed results with the generic parts house stuff. Thanks.

I remember reading in either Mopar Action or Mopar Muscle where they took an Auto Meter or some other voltmeter and stripped out the guts and put them in a vintage Mopar dash in place of the ammeter and it all fit like a glove! a Anyone remember the month and year and what mag? I'd hate to...

I understand these are rated to 6,000 rpm. Is that a limiter, or just that it won't provide optimum performance above that engine speed? If it's not a limiter, is there a way to include a limiter?? Thanks all.

SSD: I bought a ten=pack of those Narva lamps, and they are not the same as what is in my fender-top turn signal indicators. My lamps have a base that looks like these LED units, as can be seen at industrialleds.com. They have a flange at the base, and no "blades" in the sides. P.S. not...

The lamp grounds to the frame by the special nut that holds the unit in place. the factory original nut was one of those "sheet metal" can nuts, with a slightly flared base that had a sharp, somewhat serrated edge, and also a neoprene sealant insert. The sharp edge would slice through the...

Hello all, I have a conundrum that is baffling me. Was tracing down some obnoxious electrrical issues, and stumbled on this little jewel. My car is a '71 Dart. Below are my two front side marker light housings. They look identical. Here is a closeup of the bulb socket in the rear of the...

Thanks, 67DART273. That is exactly the type of information I was hoping for--definitive and informed. I'm off to the races. :toothy8:

Hello folks: Here is what I think is a simple question, but I can't answer it myself off the top of my head. I need a low-amp power source under the hood. Something I want to tap into for a 3-watt bulb. It has to be off when the ignition is off, and "hot" when the ignition is on. I was...
