Put the new regulator back on smoked for a little then went away. Currently keeping voltage regulated will keep an eye on it thanks for the help

Thanks for the input guys I work weekends so I'll mess with this next week. I also have to address the fuel pump looked like it had fuel leaking from somewhere around the pump. Fuel leaking and electrical issues probably not the best combination

I will give it another try. It was regulating the voltage I just thought something was wrong with it smoking. I will give it another shot. Thanks for the input

The old one is overcharging. I seen in another post guys using Regitar regulators off ebay. Maybe I'll give one of those a shot. The guy before me put a new alternator on it not sure the amp rating.

Would that cause it to Smoke? And the regulator was working keeping it around 14.5 volts. I put the old one back on back to 16 volts plus.

I have a 68 newport 383. When car is idling it is charging around 15.5 volts. Run car around 2,000 rpms goes up to almost 18volts. Changed voltage regulator and new regulator kept volts in the mid 14's but after about 2 or 3 minutes of running regulator started to Smoke. Any help would be...

Ok thanks John I'll give that a look. Chopping away at this when I have free time.

So am I looking at the electrical diagram right that the taillights are grounded to the housing itself? So any bulb could be giving me a ground fault?

Was looking to sell my stock wheels and tires off my 68 Newport. Asking $500 tires look brand new. I am located in Ohio would prefer meeting up but could discuss shipping at buyer's expense.

Thanks for the info

I'll give that a try thanks

Was driving the 68 Newport this morning and noticed when I hit the breaks my turn signals come on in the dash and the fender lamps. When I put the turn signals on both sides flash like hazard lights. Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Looks awesome

Thanks for the help guys new wheels fit great
