Big A auto parts?

Sounds reasonable to me Dell with my zero understanding about anything inside these charging components. It wouldn't surprise me a bit about them all being made the same in one place. May I ask this question another way? Do you prefer the old or newer style regulator/alternator system? Say...

AJ, curious which style of voltage regulator thats been working for out good for you? Always wondered if one lasted longer than the other. Sounds like you've tested one of them plenty good.

Looks like it should last you a lifetime. Nice work.

The best place to start is to get a factory service manual. They have the schematics which you can use to rewire your entire car if you need.

Looks like a 68.

No I said as long as the mixture is lit. Big difference.

Will try again later, posting problems.

If the mixture gets lit it makes no difference in the burn. If it was done with a short gap set plug from a set of breaker points or a long spark of an hei. The problem is when it doesn't get lit. This is why points were replaced. Points would bounce and no

Mopar also makes ignition boxes made for higher cylinder pressure. It seems to be luck of the draw when it comes to electronic parts. I personally have only had two mopar electronic box's quit on me in nearly 40 years. A few ballast also. Some seem to have worse luck with them. I have...

They switched over to 12v in 56. I parted out a 56 DeSoto and have some spare parts squirrel'd away like the blower motor and possibly wipers we could compare. May work?

I know you are correct and it is logical to keep things cool. This is just a nostalgia thing. Really the entire car doesn't make sense like it may have seemed to 40 years ago.

It ain't worth nothing till it gets up to temp. It will get there quick im sure with 13.5:1 compression. It's not really meant to be run long. Gets cooled between rounds kind of engine. It is built from all old parts used by plenty of racers before I found their obsolete leftovers. Block is...

I also wouldn't put these pulleys on a street car. My goal here is to get the ratios to match the 65 or 68 race hemis. Still working on digging up this Pulley size information. I will probably have to have a water pump pulley made to match the belt groove of the moroso's and to get a...

Just to follow up for anyone thinking about using these old moroso underdrive pulleys. First thing a person should know is that moroso makes two different alternator pulleys for the old Mopar alternators. Of course I obtained and installed the incorrect one first time around. Different...

This alternator will not be for street driving so it should be OK. Fingers crossed. I also plan to use the constant output voltage regulator. I did manage to get the pulley off, it was on very very tight. Didn't have the correct puller but with a small struggle it did eventually give up...

Matching crank pully.

Good eye Dell, yes this is a old moroso pully. It is half of a set that also includes the crank pully. You would think they would have made a matching water pump pully also but not the case. I have found a ford pully to line up best so far. The grooves are made deeper on this set so the belt...

Thanks for the replies, you confirmed my thoughts I would have to disassemble the alternator to press the new pulley on. Time to learn something new to me. As for determining the output of this alternator. If I take it to a tester that can spin it will they be able to tell me more than "it's...

Any tips or direction you got. Looks like pully is pressed on. No threads in shaft for a puller. Want to use the aluminum pulley shown in picture.

Circuit continuity check is a good place to begin.

Back of head to voltage regulator mounting bolt on firewall. Braided copper strap that has been plated. Negative side of the battery to front of head

I like the vintage look of your choice of guages and engine turned panel. Clever shift light idea also.

Can we ask which parts of this coil are being salvaged and what its new intended use happens to be? And what's a pcb?

Ahhh, I see. Thought it was a repair. Not the first time I didn't get it.

? Coils are a disposable part when they begin leaking or are burnt up. Same goes for ignition control box's, electronic voltage regulators and ballast resistors. Non rebuildable. Keep spares of these items to swap out when needed and don't bother yourself with the mess of taking them...

Impressive, thanks for posting the photo. Dan gets a thanks also.

They came in two common sizes. 2 1/16" & 2 5/8". I like the full sweep mech. gauges best.

If that were mine, and only my opinion, there is only one answer.........the old black face SW guages. I agree, SW was the industry standard since the beginnings of the automobile. They had a no nonsense utilitarian reputation and could be found in everything from bulldozers to...

X2 flexable fine strands with a quality jacket. Heat shrink rather than butt connectors. I cut off all the plastic sleeves on the terminals, soldered and used heat shrink tube. Problem free for over a decade now. Belden makes some quality wire. At least they did 20 years ago.
