Thanks Mattax for the advice..
This is a original 383s 4 speed matching number car.. that's my main reasoning trying to keep things original or if modifying, being able to put back to original.
Thanks
On the replacement terminals, get both the 14 and the 12 gage. That way you can see what actually will work best with the wire and insulation. If the crimps don't grab all the strands and insulation then try the other size.
The part numbers for the Packard 58 females are in this post.
I think I mail ordered those from Mouser. So that is another option if you can't get locally.
Sure.
In this post is the 65 amp (Leece Neville) diagram Factory ammeter
Cleaned up version of the optional 60 amp (Chrysler) diagram for '73 B-body in this post Another ammeter bypass question
Further down in the same thread are somewhat cleaned up assembly drawings for 67-69 A-body Fleet option wiring.
Basically I combined the idea of using a terminal stud on the firewall (from the fleet option) with the idea of running the alternator output wire to the ammeter stud (used on later defroster grid cars with 60 amp alt). How rare is electric rear defrost?
