1968 Dart ... Need wiring help

A325ic,
I take it that the vacuum pump needs 12vdc to operate, do you know how much it needs under load? How many amps does your current alt put out? Do you have other add ons to the elec system which are pulling additional amps? I would suggest a 90/100 1 wire alternator that connects to a 12v source with a self contained voltage regulator and a 8/10 gage wire going from the alternator direct to the starter relay. Crackedback here at FABO sells a Alt Wire setup. That way no need to go into the dist block. Also then delete the factor voltage relay and wiring.

Marion ... Thank You for the information. I looked in the installation booklet for the vacuum pump and there is no mention of amps required. However because of your reply I reached out to Master Power for the information and they said "no more than 10 amps". I bought this car for my wife and many upgrades have been done before I purchased the car. I did notice that it has Halogen headlights but no added relays, and the alternator appears to be an original round back with one green wire with a push on connector and one brown/black heaver wire mounted on a threaded stud. On my other 68 Dart I also put in Halogen Headlights over a year ago but I also purchased and install a relay kit from Classic Industries, (I will do the same for this car now). I do not know the current amp output. I would like to reach out to Crackedback to get the Alt wire setup for the bulkhead bypass, then get a higher output alternator. After your reply I looked into alternators and some information found on FABO and it seems that a multi wire alternator setup the prefered way to go, what is your opinion?
