Yea, every forum has much of the same, similar, threads as here on this topic, “We all know the ammeter is the Achilles heels of old Mopars…”, 9-pages pages of opinions, misinformation, and incorrect assumptions. Verry little fact-based information presented. Did see a few posts on the factory...
Wow! Never knew that! Wouldnt do a lot of good to replace what will probably happen again! I really appreciate the info!
Seems Ive drawn a lot of attention to maybe selling it. I hate to think of it. As how many of US have the old "Man I wish I still HAD" thing?!
I may try that!
Thanks a BUNCH...
All this shunt talk on a thread about a shunt-less ammeter. Just dug out the pictured NOS Police ammeter scaled to ~80amps for a closer inspection. The 3592133 application is listed in the ’72 book as standard dash with certified speedometer (Police). To be clear once more, Police/fleet...
Is there a basic schematic you know of showing what routes I might use to make this jump? I grabbed some 10ga wire.. And a pack of Packard male treminals. I think I get it now!
Thanks!!
One more attempt to explain, this is a design flaw in the stock original charging system and is by far the weakest link in the entire system. A result of trying to make the assembly of these connections faster on the assembly line. Again, they have been failing in short order since these cars...
Yes, Ehrenburg's article talks about how fleet vehicles had a factory Chrysler bulkhead bypass, eliminating the trouble spots, which he shows some photos of but then he goes into this:
4. To straighten out the wiring problem permanently,
you need some decent supplies. A few feet of...
This is new to me too. I had seem this units and the 60 amps one ( there is one right now on ebay ) but never so close!
And I'm agreed, we are talking about the regular ones, rated at 40 amps since the begining
That's exactly what I was trying to get across myself. Thank you for corroborating that.
Also if you look at it from a different perspective the bar that generates the magnetic flux in the meter body that deflects the moving vane can also be considered as a shunt even when there is no external...
That is a mis-interpretation of the notations on that diagram. Need to follow up with the corresponding accessory diagrams when seeing those notations. Chrysler did not by-pass the ammeter on their taxi and fleet production large alternator vehicles, they by-passed the bulkhead connections with...
What I dont see is sales code DSA which is limited slip differential(posi is a GM term). It does have DMH 3.92 axle ratio

he also said that the ammeter wasnt a heavy duty enough for fleet vehicles, all the lights, radio,and any other high draw additions should have a wiring by pass. He posted a by pass diagram for heavy electrical draw apps that run directly off the alternater side. What I mentioned and what Nacho...
