Thanks.... it was an original 318 floor console that I bought from a family friend in 87.... I built a Little Red Express spec 360 with ported and polished J heads, intake and BB TQ..... modified a904 and then when emissions hit middle Tn I stored it in the garage, plus family happened, 22 years....

I as of February of this year slowly getting it ready for the road.... with a few upgrades in the works...

Not able to post pictures right now, may be a newbie thing....

 

[Davesmopar]

What is the post count before being able to post pictures??

 

[XfbodyX]

im sorry i dont know that

 

[Davesmopar]

im sorry i dont know that

Not your fault, it is a forum thing to keep out bots and spammers.....

I used to own a large hobby forum as well as am an admin on another that I helped build from scratch with a friend....

 

[XfbodyX]

So what are your plans for your RR these days?

 

[Davesmopar]

TF3 full manual conversion,8 3/4 sure grip 3.90(1).....

Have a Mega shifter for it but really don't want to cut the shifter bracket....

Get the Gremlin out of the carburetor and charging system.....

Once able to be driven, pick out wheels and tires....

 

[XfbodyX]

The charging system isnt that hard to sort out, whats it doing?

 

[Davesmopar]

That's why I was trying to send you a video.... it's overcharging... I bypassed the entire voltage regulator wiring and straight wired it to the battery and alternator and still overcharging.....

 

[Davesmopar]

I've tried 5 different voltage regulators from different companies including an adjustable one and same issue....

 

[XfbodyX]

Have you tossed on a diff alternator?

 

[Davesmopar]

Replace both rectifier Bridges and capacitor on a NOS alternator I had on the car, as well as sending out to me alternator repair shop did the test on it and everything tested good, then I replaced alternator what's same results

 

[Davesmopar]

Have you tossed on a diff alternator?

Yes sir....

 

[XfbodyX]

Better sell that puppy off

 

[Davesmopar]

Better sell that puppy off

Right!!!!!

It has me befuddled that I have gotten that many bad voltage regulators....

 

[XfbodyX]

There isnt really anything in the harness that could jack ya if all is grounded and you have the proper wires on the alt. Hmmm.

I had one that would overcharge but I cant recall the fix, but boy were the headlights bright.

 

[Davesmopar]

I need to find somebody with a known good working charging system, to let me send my voltage regulators to test on their car, possibly send me one of their to see if it'll work on mine
