I have to go with 67dart270 on all the electrical tests, particularly alternator output, and voltage regulator condition. That said, I suspect your choke is also out of adjustment. After a full night cool down, before starting engine, remove air cleaner, and crack open throttle by hand about...

Red tenth wheel of odometer indicates this is not original odometer, and was replaced with Chrysler sourced new part reading 00000.0 miles; I would guess by dealer. How do I know this, I had a speedometer problem covered under warrantee in early eighties at ten thousand miles on a new KCar...

Thatheadlight switch mess is a result of excessive heat from corrosion and or lose connection. Corrosion acts as a resistancein any circuit; resistance = heat. As forthat switch, it is in a spot that can get wet from leaking windshield or wiperbushing. Also while investigating forwater damage...

When looking for voltage drop, making a hand drawn simple sketch of ignition and charging circuits is helpful. While testing list on sketch the various voltages at each connection to make keeping track of deficiencies easy, than add up the results.

Save a trip, take both regulator and alternator in for a test. If they check out, reassess wiring & connections.

More often corroded and poor connectors and crimps cause excessive resistance. Whenever resistance is added into the equation it causes a voltage drop, and heat. Most common area of A Body electrical corrosion problems is at bulkhead connector. Most common spot for meltdown from too high...

You have to trim antenna with that little screw previously mentioned. In other words, if the electronics of the radio don’t match the antenna's resistance, volume will be low. Other causes are leaking capacitors. If you are like me, somewhat electronically challenged, just send the...

I not sure why I’m opening my mouth on this, but what the hell… No 30 amps + 7 amps + 10amps + 10 amps = 57 amps not including head lights, other lights and electrical loads not accounted for. Seems to me the stock alternator is doing a job it was not designed for. You want...

These carbs are sensitive to high fuel pressure, and will puke fuel because needle valve won’t stop the flow. Check fuel pressure.

Nothing, the weights will slam into end of slot and sometimes bounce back and slam the stop again eventually stabilizing in a street car at certain rpm ranges. It is an old drag racer’s mod to get the fastest advance, and where a drag car has two throttle positions; off and wide open it...

If you decide to drill a hole through metal be sure to insert a nonmetallic bushing, available at most hardware stores, to prevent chafing of new wire and a dead short.

Contact “Bigslant6fan” over on slant six dot org. He makes reproduction Mopar governor springs and provides a chart outlining each spring combination advance parameters. I got a set from him a few years ago, and they enabled easy recurve of my distributor.

I think oil sender wire is light gray on slant six.

Little to no help department: If it has six vanes on the reluctor it came from a slant six… But, you already knew that.

Don’t waste time or money on cheap tape it will soon come unraveled, and doesn’t like cold or high temperatures. I use only 3M #33, it’s expensive but doses the job, and it comes in a plastic storage box and a selection of colors.

The new lighting rules governing parking lamp function and color (amber), and mandated side marker lamps kicked in for 1968 model year.

Ballast resistor is just a resistance coil no different than a light bulb filament, or stove burner. It will conduct electricity if good, and won’t if bad, in other words if the resistance coil is still whole not broken it will work to step down voltage. If it is open, or rather its...

Where you said that several batteries have been installed, I don’t think you have a battery problem which will cause over charging. Most often voltage drop in ignition and regulation circuits cause over charge problems. If voltage regulator is seeing low voltage in harness it will...

One place that has various connectors Chrysler used: http://www.ronfrancis.com/products.asp?dept=58

I had the same problem with my 67, right brake lamp would not illuminate. After screwing around I discovered if directional signal lever was gently pulled in direction of steering wheel the right brake light worked. The signal switch was worn out after 40+ years…, go figure… I...

The whole point of the bypass is to limit flow of electrons through bulkhead connector, this is why the black wire from alternator to bulkhead connector is relocated and landed on starter relay’s threaded stud connecting it directly to battery, not bulkhead connector. If you examine...

Yup, that would screw something up.

Oddly I went to Radio shack yesterday and purchased the regulator, capacitor, and a heat sink, to upgrade my 67 Dart dash power; it all came to seven or eight bucks.

Check carburetor’s power valve for leak. If PV diaphragm is ruptured, that is won’t hold a vacuum when sucked on, power valve is dumping excess fuel causing an over rich condition that will blacken plugs in no time at all throttle openings.

Metal Fender Tag mounted on driver’s side inner fender near battery will have a build date, and other coded information. Look on this site to decode plate: http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=31

I think so. Fog free zone: But why bother frigging around disassembling steering column, when one can just pop put passenger’s side door lock, and drop it off at a lock smith to generate a key or two; that is if your doors, and ignition locks are still keyed alike. Reason for using...

I have to agree with Redfish, you have somehow bypassed ignition switch, and connected something directly to battery so new ignition system is hot all the time.

I have to put this ballast resistor failure in perspective, Murphy seamed to play a role in both instances I experienced long ago. First failure in 67 Dart occurred in downtown Auburn, Maine late night in 15 below weather in 1972 where nothing was open at the time and no spare on hand&#8230...

AM (Amplitude Modulation) antenna had adjustable length to trim to wave amplitude . Low (560) end of band has a different height wave compared to high end (1650). FM, (Frequency Modulation) or length of wave does not require adjustable antenna length for opptamal reception. Most older car Am...

Words to live by. I keep two in glove box one for personal use, and the other for a fellow Mopar driver when in need. Just plane idle...
