Well, after some testing, how-to on this forum, I solved my overcharging problem. My 69 RR 383 4 speed was getting 14.5v idling and over 15v 3000rpm. With the testing I saw my FLD wire getting 11.5v which would explained the overcharging. I tried two regulators and received the same thing. I...

Bought a new 3 speed wiper switch because I thought the other one had problems, when I plugged it in and tried to use it I would get a shock. Well the new one is doing the same thing. When the whole bar with the switches was leaning on the steering wheel I could see a little blue spark every...

Hey guys, I had to get a new starter because the other starter was drawing to much power and not working. I put the new starter in and now I have lights and everything works except it won't turn over. I turn the key and nothing. Do you think I ruined the starter relay with the bad starter? When...
