70 up charging system upgrade question

Thanks Matt, I understand how hard it can be diagnose/translate/advise on electrical threads. I'm the same way with math, I just "get it" and can do most in my head. Try to "help/teach" and its difficult for me to do.
I appreciate ALL the advice/help as well as contributing members not "muddying" things/threads up.
I could NOT imagine me trying to help in an electrical thread. Lol my default reply is "check grounds" never steer anyone wrong there lol.
Hope everything is good with Del.
Good idea with the "blended" schematics.
I have printed the 67 cuda in color, 73 valiant(for elec ign and 70+ charge system). Also MAD bypass as well.
Laminator at work, so once I get a good set drawn up, I'll laminate.
Lol it's been a month now since this elec issue popped up, dont wanna drive it and burn anything...other.than rubber lol.
Thank Christ I got a boat to go meditate in.
Thanks again Mattax. :thumbsup:

Steve. I don't know where 273Dart has been. Seemed like he was helping you.
I've not followed your threads and posts in any detail. I know you've made several changes. My suggestion for a diagram is to start with the '67 ignition charging diagram. Take the one I've posted on my website and here.
Then print it or open it in MSPaint, IRFAN or whatever drawing software you like.
Mark it up precisely with each of the wires and items you've added.
By precisely I mean to have the wire connections at their actual locations. If its a splice, show it as a splice (solid circle), if it joins at a terminal, show it there.
The first iteration will be a bit messy. That's fine. Move things around (redraw if on paper) so its clearer to you. You probably don't need starter (yellow) for this particular problem, so you can delete things that for more room.

Once you have it the way you like, make copies so you can mark the voltage readings right on it. Then you should be able to see where the voltage drop is relative to current flow.
