I found out partly why it blew. When the plug with that fusable line is connected into the firewall portion, its shorting out due to there being a negative ground coming from it. I'm hoping its the plug and not the firewall box, I really don't want to pull out the dash. A bit more testing is...
Your correct Dako its all original, the car has sat for half of its life indoors not running. I know what your saying but all the wires feel ok nothing really dried out that I can tell. If it wasn't for my bad connection that fuseable wire would of been fine as well. For now I'll do the repair...
Lots of good info, thanks a bunch guys. For now I would like to just get it going for the guy that's going to brake in the motor for me, hopefully this week.
I fried it because I powered up the car and it shorted, some how I have power running everywhere that should be a grounded. I suppose the best way to find the power problem is to unplug each wire at a time and see which power wire is doing this to me.
Hi Jay, really nice car. That's almost identical to mine but I've the 318 in it. When I got mine it was also all original but needing a paint job. Mine never came with any ghost pinstripe that you talk about. What's different between them is the rear trunk plate I have a black sticker in the...
Meep-Meep my doesn't have a tach, maybe that's and extra one on my car then. I did trace it back to the main fire wall wire plug ins, its in the 3rd horizontal line from the top down and is in the 3rd row from the right. Regarding the alternator mine was sending power right back to the battery...
That's great guys, thanks. I'm getting close to firing this thing up and breaking in the rebuilt motor.

There is 1 grey wire coming from the fire wall, any idea what that runs?
Thanks, I've also been checking some of the other posts on here and they said to jump one of the field on the alternator to ground, I think that might be how it was set up.
Mopar 3 B speaking about your washer bottle what colour wire is going to that? is it grey by chance?
Need help if you can. I know I had labelled everything 15yrs ago but I'm having an issue with hooking up the alternator, it has 2 fields but I'm not sure which wire goes to where. I have a green wire coming off the field side of the voltage regulator but which field does it go to on the...
Just wanted to say hi. My passion is off road 4x4ing but before that a picked up a 68 sport satellite that needed some TLC, so 15 yrs ago I took it apart for paint and life got in the way but now its back on the table to have it complete for spring.
