An update: alternator is now looking like the culprit as voltage test with a better meter at the alternator shows a fluctuation of voltage between 6 and 13.2 volts. this can't be good right? What part of the alternator has failed since this alt is out of warranty and is very expensive I'd like...

Starter wouldn't cause gauges or voltage drops and it starts just fine, no drag. But I'll double check, thanks for the reply.

1970 Dart w/360, Powermaster alternator, adjustable VR, Painless wiring harness, light relays, MSD ignition module and dist. autometer voltage gauge, car was wired according to Mad instructions for a trunk battery. My problem which started yesterday: voltage gauge registers 14.5 volts all seems...

Looking for the 8 3/4 housing that the gears and posi clutch plates go into. Don't need the gears or the clutch discs themselves, but am willing to buy the whole assembly if the price is right.

Cool! My son and I are from Nikiski, although he is moving to Fairbanks in Aug. We've got a 70 Dart that is finally on the road, Hemi orange, maybe we'll meet up at a car show.

many, many thanks Moparmitch and cracked back!!

I've trying searching the site with no luck on trying to find a source for the left hand ring gear clutch assembly housing bolts. These are the 3" x 3/8 x 18 bolts and there are 10 of them. we broke one off and in looking at the others they also seem fatigued so would like to just replace all of...

Well, mystery solved! A close examination of the fuse panel reveals that the fuel pump wire is in fact a switched circuit. Obviously I should have done a little more research before wasting so much bandwidth.My thanks to all who so graciously responded. And thanks KitCarlson for your explanation...

I am sorry if I came across as flippant. I do appreciate your expertise and willingness to help. And yes, I agree wiring is all about a plan. I made a detailed list of what I was going to do before I started on this project and as much as I was capable, noted where my wires were going. I do have...

I have the 20 circuit one. I could just bypass the pump wire, remove the fuse, but I am concerned that it is shorted to the start circuit and that could cause problems down the road. If you find your manual and it has a schematic that would be great. Cracked, yep, that is a distinct...

Well, thanks for the quick responses. I'm not really asking for help on the wiring, I already have the car wired and it starts. What prompted my question was the wire that came out of the EZ wire fuse block labeled "fuel pump" that I inadvertently touched to the positive lead from the battery...

OK, a couple of disclaimers before I burden all of you with my trials. First, I am a real novice when it comes to auto electrical. Second, this is my first complete rewire of a car. Now the particulars. Car is a 70 Dodge Dart. Wiring kit is by EZ Wire. I have a MAD kit to move the battery to...

Many thanks for the info guys. I got a very nice reply from the tech guys at Aeromotive saying basically the same thing as jimjimjimmy, but advising me to go ahead and get a reg. designed for carb engines. I have a waldpro pump and so I just ordered the Aero reg. the tech guy recommended. FABO...

OK, this is probably such a noob question you pro types are going to roll your eyes; but, I was recently given a brand new aeromotive A1000 regulator but this is the one used for fuel injection and I have a carb engine. Can I still use this reg? Do I just plumb the line from the electric pump...

Stan, just read your build thread threw and boy, nice work! There is a guy up here who is turning a 75 swinger into a 70. He got the donor car from my son and I and I think his project is going to be a lot more work than yours, LoL. I am going to pass your build along to him so he can see how to...
