Never mind. I've been reading Dallasman200's post and I think he and I have the same issue with the electric fan. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to electrical issues so I don't even know where to begin. I now have a massive headache after reading all about the suggestions y'all...

Does anyone know what the OEM or MOPAR part number would be for a 90 or 95 amp square back 3 wire (externally regulated) alternator? I've heard these called "Police Car" alternators. They may have been used in other applications as well. I bought a brand new (not refurbished) 60 amp square...

Love your car Dude! If I wasn't trying to stay with the Sleeper motif on this car, I'd be building something like you have!!! Nice. :thumbsup:

Welcome from Georgia! Get that thing cleaned up!! :lol:

Welcome from Georgia! Can't wait to see the car!

Welcome from Georgia! Nice Duster. I built a 318 for my brother's '66 Barracuda a long time ago when we were in our 20's. His 318 could ALMOST run with my 340! I don't think you will end up with 500 HP unless you have deep pockets. However, that motor is very peppy with the right stuff in...

Welcome! I love that blue color. Very nice!

I had a 1965 Barracuda for a long time. I converted it to a built 340 and a manual valve body 727 with a 3500 converter. I narrowed a rear end from a GTX and put 3.91 gears in it with a new posi unit. I drove nthis car to work every day and drag raced it on the weekends. It got to be more...

Love the pics man. That Valiant is cool!

Welcome from Ringgold, Georgia!

Sounds like this year would be a good time for a "reuniuon" since I wasn't around for the last one. Sounds like fun!

Welcome from Georgia!

Welcome from Georgia!

That's kinda what's going on here. I keep it on a trickle charger yet when I'm out driving the car, after several stops the battery gets weak enough that it won't start the car. It's maddening.

I guess I'll get one of those too then. Might as well, right? :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for all the comments and suggestions. I'm pretty good with everything but electrical issues. With them I am a lost ball in high weeds. :BangHead: Since I could not get a definite answer out of anyone and neither of my local parts stores could produce a reliable test, I have...

OK so you're saying that the alternator and voltage regulator should both be good? And am I to infer since you didn't mention the battery that you think it is the issue?

I don't think these wires are solid care. Maybe you or someone could confirm they are OK to use with DSD 6???

Battery is dated 1/2020 so it looks like it's 4 years old. At this point I'm thinking about buying an alternator and a battery both. The alternator is questionable and the battery will take a charge but it sure discharges quickly with the slightest usage. Thoughts? Where does the voltage...

More Confused Than Ever.............. I removed the battery and alternator today. I took them to Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone both to see what they both had to say about them when they load tested them out of the car. Advance Auto says battery is OK. They said the Alternator is bad after...

Thanks Slant Six!

Does this fit a 727 transmission? Do you have a gear with it? I need a 33 tooth gear.

I was measuring the voltage on the battery posts. 12.5 not running. 14.25 or so running. The amp meter in the dash appears to be working properly. I'll try the 2 person check in the morning. The car is on a Battery Minder that has 4 stages of charging. The last stage is a float stage when...

What pinion would it be for a 30" tall tire? A 30 pinion? That's what height tire I think I'm going to go with. Where can I buy these speedometer pinions??

OK. I jacked up the car today and verified that I have 3.73 gears. The driveshaft went around 3 3/4 turns to 1 full turn for the tire. Right on the money. 3.73 gears. That's good to get out of the way. It's one less variable to worry about. Now.........I gotta get that speedometer hooked...

The battery wasn't dead. I was starting the car with it every time I went somewhere else. The Battery Tender goes into "float" mode when it gets the battery fully charged to prevent it from over charging. The light was solid green meaning it was fully charged when I left the house. I thought...

Thanks. I didn't know any of this.

The battery had been on a Battery Tender for 2 weeks and was fully charged when I drove it 3 miles to the parts store. Is that fully charged enough? Or do I have to take it out of the car and drive it to the parts store? With the meter showing 14.25v while the car is running, I don't think...

I did that. Neither auto parts store could get a true load test reading (according to them) because the battery wasn't "fully charged". They both assumed the battery was bad and asked if I'd like to buy one. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a sales technique to sell more...

It also has MSD 6, a long battery cable to the trunk which draws extra power when cranking, and it has 2 electric fans, one for the coolant and one for the transmission. I think it has high compression but can't be for sure yet. Another reason it may be hard to start. I think a battery with...
