From the battery? Would it be better to go from the alternator itself? I will get back with better photos. No it's not a voltage regulator. I replaced that a while ago. And this on clicks when I go to high beam, just like a relay.

Thank you guys. The coming winter I'm going to paint and tidy up the engine bay. Is there any point in replacing this with a smaller more modern relay?

This has always been on my Duster since I bought it. It clicks when you go from low beam to high beam. One wire runs directly to battery positive. A previous owner have taped all the electrical wiring together and since everything works I have never touched it. So, Im guesing some one has...

Guys, thanks a lot for educating me! I feel I got a better understanding of it all now. Along with my new distributor I got both springs and advance limiters. I will report back, might not have time to work on it more this weekend though. Toolman: I think you have seen this already, this is...

Thanks Redfish. When I have a friend to help me out I'll be checking what my total is at this point and change springs if needed.

Took some time, but today I went over all the grounds and also the cables going to the battery poles, connections to the starter etc. Got rid of the switch, took everything apart, spliced fresh cables, cleaned and sanded every ground point and connection point etc. The starter have not clicked...

As always help comes fast on this board. Thanks guys! I don't know if it happens on high beam, I had meeting traffic or cars in front of me all the time. I just tried to get home ASAP. The headlight switch is about 3 years old only. I'll check everything you suggested this coming weekend. Thanks...

Hey guys. I noticed something today when I was driving in the dark. My headlights come and go. For the most part they stay on, but then all of a sudden the will flicker and or go out. So I just pulled the knob on the switch in and out and they come back on. Never noticed this problem before, I...

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I'm gonna look into all of them. I have one of those switches on the negative battery terminal. First thing I'll do is to get rid of that then. I wish I had some pics, but I dont right now. I'll be snapping some next time I can work on it. Thanks again!

No, not to my knowledge and I have been under the dash several times but have not seen any wiring of that sort. I have to turn over the engine sometimes because the starter has engaged, but not fully, and then it wont snapp back. It's a little hard for me to explain, english not being my...

I have a random and really annoying problem with my starter. Sometimes it will just click when I turn the key, don't matter if its hot or cold. What I have to do then is to turn over the engine a little by hand to get it to dis-engage (dont know the correct english for this, hope you understand)...

Just wanted to report that with a new regulator everything is back to normal and it charges just fine. Once again thanks for the great input and help, especially 67Dart273.

Hooked everything up exactly like you wrote and with the same result. It charges full and increase a LOT with rpm. I took the regulator of the firewall, cleaned and sanded every contact area. Put it back. Still wont charge. Juggled the connector with no result. I guess i should get a new...

Thank you so much for taking time to walk me through this. I am really greatfull for that! Tomorrow i'll bring a friend to help me out with these new tests and will post back the results. Thanks and have a nice day meanwhile!

I never went over 15v but i Think i could have easily done that. By the way, when i read the blue terminal with the wire still connected and the Green one not grounded it wandered slightly and never made it up to battery 12v. At most 11.50. It dropped some when i grounded Green just as you...

I have a squareback on at the moment. A friend lent me it. Had the same results with that though. But now i have new info. I did everything you wrote and it came out just as you described. With the green field terminal grounded to the enginge it charges and charges more when i rev. Both at the...

Thanks. I'll see if I can get this done tonight or tomorrow morning and post back. I do have the 70's system and here is a pick of my alternator. The wire that looks a little green is actually more white, so someone probably changed it at some point. I did do a test earlier today where I...

I found these two tests on the forum and did them. I do have the same 12v on both tests as the battery: "To troubleshoot, get a meter or lamp, first clamp the meter/ lamp to ground (battery negative) and probe the big stud on the alternator. Make sure it's hot, has 12V same as battery. Next...

May i ad i never had This problem before and i had This car since 2005.

I read it at the battery. My reading at the alternator, which i did by putting the multimeter positive on the big positive stud at the alternator and then ground to the enginge gave me less than at the battery. Dropped under 11 With headlights on. I could not rev though casue it was only me...

My car is a 1970 Duster with a 1965 273 engine. I have the Pertronix Flame Thrower Coil and the Ignitor distributer and a bypassed ballast resistor. Everything has worked fine for a year this way. I noticed while driving home in the dark that my headlights where dim and that my alternator...
