An update: alternator is now looking like the culprit as voltage test with a better meter at the alternator shows a fluctuation of voltage between 6 and 13.2 volts. this can't be good right? What part of the alternator has failed since this alt is out of warranty and is very expensive I'd like...

Starter wouldn't cause gauges or voltage drops and it starts just fine, no drag. But I'll double check, thanks for the reply.

1970 Dart w/360, Powermaster alternator, adjustable VR, Painless wiring harness, light relays, MSD ignition module and dist. autometer voltage gauge, car was wired according to Mad instructions for a trunk battery. My problem which started yesterday: voltage gauge registers 14.5 volts all seems...

Well, mystery solved! A close examination of the fuse panel reveals that the fuel pump wire is in fact a switched circuit. Obviously I should have done a little more research before wasting so much bandwidth.My thanks to all who so graciously responded. And thanks KitCarlson for your explanation...

I am sorry if I came across as flippant. I do appreciate your expertise and willingness to help. And yes, I agree wiring is all about a plan. I made a detailed list of what I was going to do before I started on this project and as much as I was capable, noted where my wires were going. I do have...

I have the 20 circuit one. I could just bypass the pump wire, remove the fuse, but I am concerned that it is shorted to the start circuit and that could cause problems down the road. If you find your manual and it has a schematic that would be great. Cracked, yep, that is a distinct...

Well, thanks for the quick responses. I'm not really asking for help on the wiring, I already have the car wired and it starts. What prompted my question was the wire that came out of the EZ wire fuse block labeled "fuel pump" that I inadvertently touched to the positive lead from the battery...

OK, a couple of disclaimers before I burden all of you with my trials. First, I am a real novice when it comes to auto electrical. Second, this is my first complete rewire of a car. Now the particulars. Car is a 70 Dodge Dart. Wiring kit is by EZ Wire. I have a MAD kit to move the battery to...
