Nope, warm to the touch but that's all.

Hi guys, I'm having a strange issue since I installed an MSD Blaster 2 coil, new plugs and wires. Sometimes the car will stutter, as if it had lost spark, and I can't pinpoint why. This is what I have of info for you mopar detectives: Currently Points distributor, will install a pertronix...

Thank you for the replies guys, you've been very helpful.

Hi all, Yea it's a Brazilian Dart I brought to Australia. And the wiring is all original, there's no hacking at all. I can get any parts that are available in the USA, so that's not an issue. Any ideas of a setup that would charge well at low rpm? That's the biggest issue I have with the...

Thanks for the answers guys. That's interesting. I thought for sure that was the limiter, but I'm by no means good with electrics so your guess is way better than mine. I'll test the red wire this weekend. Do you have any pics of the regulator in the fuel gauge? I had the dash apart a few...

Mine looks like this. Any ideas?

Hi again! I'm also looking for a replacement alternator and voltage regulator. Can somebody let me know what I can use to replace this one? The more painless, the better. Thanks fellas!

Hi guys I have a 1970 Dart with a factory rallye dash (that's how they came inBrazil). Do you guys know what type of instrument voltage regulator I need? And where to buy it? Cheers!

Hi guys, I found this alternator in Summit Racing, apparently it has an in-built voltage regulator. Does this mean one could bypass the factory voltage regulator completely? Could somebody explain what this installation would look like? Powermaster Street Alternators 74191...

Thanks mate, that was very informative!

You know, that has actually crossed my mind. I did however check voltage at the coil +, and it does show 12v so I think I may be ok. But I'm thinking of changing the alternator, voltage regulator, starter relay, just because everything is so old. What would you suggest for an upgrade to the...

In that case, if this "resistor cable" is working as a ballast resistor, then it should not have 12V at the coil +, right? But it does... I think whoever built the car must have used whatever cable they had available back then, maybe the car never had a ballast resistor. This is a...

You win a hug. Want it? Haha. Does anybody know where I can get a modern replacement for the regulator? All parts I found in rockauto, classic industries etc don't look anything like mine. Appreciate the help! Cheers

Hi guys Thanks for the knowledge shared, I think I'm good to go ahead with the install now. Just to clarify, my distributor is original from factory, the coil may have been replaced in the past. I'll just accept the fact that the RUN wire is 12v on coil positive and just go from there...

Could this be it? It's on the drivers side of the firewall.

Oh yeah. Bingo! Btw, where is the voltage regulator located? Cheers!

Hey folks, Any idea about what this is? It sits next to my battery. I think it's a voltage regulator but it looks funny. What are does two wires in the middle? If it is the regulator, where can I get a replacement? Cheers!

Thanks bbeep! Do you have any idea how my original coil is running off a 12v RUN wire while it shows 1.5ohm resistance when tested? Cheers!

Bump! Come on guys... I know you geniuses know this stuff... Help please!

Hi guys, Summer is finally over here in Australia so it's time to start working on the Dart again. I'm in the process of installing a Summit Racing Electronic Mopar Distributor (SUM-850003) and a MSD Blaster 2 Ignition Coil (8203), but I ran into a few problems. I'm no electrician so it's...

No cutting required, the face fit perfectly and the knobs are adjustable. Cheers.

Yeah, that's the main thing, I didn't want to install something that didn't look like it belongs to the car.

Yep it has output for 4 speakers and extra connections for amps, power antenna. The unit sounds nice, much better than the old 40-yr old AM radio anyway... May not be the highest spec out there, but the looks of it are great.

Hi guys There was a thread open a few months ago where a member was asking if anybody had installed a retrosound radio in a Dart. Well, I finally installed mine and thought there could be some interest here. Retrosound Model One Retrosound speaker 6x9 dual voice cone mounted under the dash...

And I didn't fix the pin itself, we decided not to drop solder on the board if its not really necessary. The right-side circuit board actually had another pin (right next to the problematic one) which was part of the harness but wasn't been used for anything - it even had some brown wire with...

Hi David! So you were in Australia during Melbourne Cup Day! The country practically stops for one of the world's most famours horse races. Fortunes are made and lost in that race, it's quite incredible. Just saw on Yahoo that some guy bet 8 cents online and made $77.000,00 out of it - not...

Eureka!! Problem Solved! So check this out. It turns out the dash illumination power on my Brazillian Dart goes like this: Starting at headlight switch (dimmer), to right-side circuit board (iluminates right side of the dash) - then from a pin in the right-side circuit board all the way...

Hey folks! So check this out. I put the dash back together because I needed to take the car out for wheel alignment. And to my surprise, all the dash lights worked! This gotta be a Gremlin if I've ever seen one! There must be some problem with the wire somewhere, so I'll be waiting for the...

Hey, if you wanna stop by and help fix my Dart I'll chill a block of stubbies and through some snags on the barbie!

Wow, awesome replies guys. Thanks heaps. Let me start my novel... Hehehe The pics I sent were from the time I took the dash out for some restoration. During this period I replaced all bulbs for LEDs so it's all new. Needless to say, everything worked. Today I checked the printed circuit for...
