    73 Duster crank but no start / blowing in-line fuse on red ignition wire

    I’m right there with you. I think the fuse is to protect the bulkhead connector? Not sure.. But that’s great info for the alternator. Thanks so much.. here’s the pictures of the alternator that’s installed attached. I thought I uploaded these, but I guess they didn’t make it. Per my brother in...

    Hello from Aurora, IL! Bought a Duster with an ignition issue
