    71 Dart overcharging

    That makes more sense now. BTW, the VR is grounded at the base via #8 wire to the block using serrated washers, this also ties the body/frame, engine together. The batt. cable to the rear is stranded welding cable (read $$$$). It works super for batt. cable, but not very cost effective. Thanks...

    71 Dart overcharging

    Just for curiosity, why would a .2 volt to .3 drop make any difference when not running? The regulator comes into play when the engine is running, therefore the voltage goes up, and the voltage becomes the same at battery as at the regulator. I had to think about that one. There is always going...

    71 Dart overcharging

    Haven't had time to look at any thing. The wiring is stock. Yes, power for ballast, and VR are on same source which is stock (per factory wire diagrams). The batt. in the trunk is the only non stock part of the system. It is wired from same location at the relay (or starter) as the stock batt...

    71 Dart overcharging

    Thanks, you verified what I was going to do, works. Simple fix with a bosh relay. Just a side note for others who may read this. I had a MSD ballast resistor installed, instead of the stock one, back from when we raced the car. it was .8 ohms. The coil would overheat, and it would die now and...

    71 Dart overcharging

    Good info. I will load test the battery tomorrow, but I think it's O.K.. The connections are very good. That is always my #1 test. Cables I believe are 'O' (read huge) The other tests are interesting. VR is working, with lights on, heater etc. follows the 15.5 charging I am going to guess...

    Need help with fuel gauge not working?

    I fixed my wife's Dart, didn't pull the dash cluster. Just did it blind. Ran a wire from the kick panel, up to the back of the gauge, then used a crimp on female blue end to plug it to the gauge post, skipping the cluster board altogether. Never took the dash out, been working for 2...

    MSD Blaster SS help needed..

    We even tried stacking resistors for correct ohms, could not make it work, even with correct OHMs. Here is my old link: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=190192

    MSD Blaster SS help needed..

    We had zero luck with 2 brand new blaster coils with several factory and after market control boxes. This was all found on the dyno, in my wifes 360 race dart.We went with a good quality stock coil/ stock balast res., and it all worked fine. We chased this for a few weeks, and found from some...

    Grounding the instrument voltage regulator

    I just went through this, and couldn't get the cluster out of our 71 Dart. So I reached up behind, pulled the limiter out, and made a pig tail and mounted the limiter in the drivers side kick panel.Grounded it, and created a new ign. wire to it from the fuse panel. I also found somewhere between...
