amp gauge

the old mopars had only 40 amp and 60 amp alternators,the wiring in these cars are only set up for that.i believe the problem lies when guys try to put bigger amp alternators,for extra accessories causing over load on wiring harness.my duster had burnt bulk head connectors, i bought it off a younger guy who had a big sound system in the car.amp kickerbox etc.had to replace bulkhead wiring and the wiring to the amp gauge witch i also bypassed and installed a volt gauge.this is becoming one hell of a subject. the guys at mad maybe chevy guys,i dont know,but they are right on about a couple of these issues.i have always been a crysler man, even when others didnt think they were cool.my bros a chey guy, and he aint never had issues with his electrics, in my opinion chevy got it right with the hei set ups and the one wire alts.wish mopar would have came up with those set ups.

You are right, the chevy guys got it right with the wiring:) In the process of running a new 10 gauge wire from my alt through the bulkhead connector, my spade terminal was melting the connector and the car would not idle with any load put on the system anymore(not enough juice to keep the fire lit). My Duster has been in the family since 74 and it is the only car that has melted/burned wires over the years(turn signal, alt, brake, blower motor, etc.). This car started melting wires when it was less than ten years old. None of my Chevy's or Fords have melted this stuff but I still love this car!!!!!! And the amp guage is going to stay too:)
