Only difference between 72 and 73 that I can think of is are the connections for the heater/blower. 74 is when things got crazy under there

I can hook you up...$28 shipped. Message me if that works for you

Back in the day we used match book covers for a quick and easy points setting...easier to find an actual dwell meter than matches these days. I use points on all of my cars..single for the drivers, dual for the hot rods. Actually just picked up a Mallory Dual point yesterday to convert my 73...

Ignition switch

Common problem, and almost always a bad regulator.

Easiest way would be to adapt a 2 speed setup from a 63-66 car. I have that whole assembly including linkage for $75

Follow the lead from the steering column up to where it joins the main harness, and then cut away about six inches of tape wrap. You may find something right there

Very common symptom of a partially melted dash harness. What year/model is the car?

Fusable link failure is almost always one of two things. A short at or near the Alternator gauge, or a short in the Alternator itself...bad diode. Also possible in the headlight circuit, but less likely

Ah, sorry..I misread the original post.

Check your dimmer switch

The repops on EBay are Chinese...you pays your money and takes your chances. I have a good original still in a parts car I can do for $45 plus shipping. Message me if you can use it

Sounds like a typical partially melted dash harness. Try to feel up around the back of the cluster, and see if any of the tape wrap is crispy.

Opposite sides of the regulator

The factory powered its electronic chokes from the field circuit of the alternator, NOT the ignition. A relay is pointless. What you need is a thermal limiter. Tap into one of the field wires, run it to a limiter and then to the choke itself. Simple and foolproof. I have tested, factory...

That harness is a wreck! I have a perfect, original listed on here for $175

75 plugs and sockets are the only ones that will work with your 76

OK, 1976 is a completely stand alone year, and no other harness will even come close to working on it. The main difference is how they reconfigured the charging system and gauge cluster. Trust me on this..you DON'T want to fix it! Very trouble prone year for electronics. If it was my car, or was...

Find a harness from a 70/71 Duster. It will be a direct fit for your combination

Ignition switch.

Soak it overnight in white vinegar

Did it top out at 15.2 or was it acting like a generator. If that was max voltage, I would drive it around for about 20 minutes and see if it drops to the 14 zone. I do the grounded second field all the time, and never have a problem

I dunno, my $20 swap meet Accell dual point and ancient big yellow coil seem to fire my roller cam, dual quad 400 just fine up there around 6500. Runs out of valve spring before she runs out of spark

1975-76 they did route the alternator wire outside that mid point connector. They did the same with the ign. switch connector under the steering column

The 73 up engine harness is two piece. The part that plugs into the firewall is universal, the second half is engine specific. The only difference in your case is that the coil wires and oil sending switch wires are going to be different lengths. Unwrap that part of the harness and put the...

Take the two yellow wires and connect them to each other. Done

No, I never said they are stupid. I understand and have used them in other applications countless times. I said that they are an unnecessary complication in the vast amount of cases when it comes to these cars. The old saying was that some people have too many fingers on their hands. Meaning...

That doesn't make any sense. The keyed power source will trigger the relay, yes..but the pump still needs a power source and ground. You have not circumnavigated a potential problem, only added an extra circuit to it. There is a bank on the fuse block that is protected by the fusable link, fed...

Why...why??? I have been building cars for nearly forty years, and have never, ever even once considered adding a relay to ANYTHING. And fuses? Only when absolutely totally necessary. Anything you add to a cars electrical system presents another potential point of failure and complication to...

Simplest, easiest, foolproof, idiot proof, experience proof way there is?... Stock harnesses
