    Strange electrical behaviour

    I'll order an electronic one next and see what happens then. I think as the two VRs are showing different kinds of malfunction, the alternator should be fine and I have two broken VRs

    So an update on the situation. Cleaned and reinstalled the old VR. Starting the engine, choke increases RPM, voltage at the battery increases through 17 V before I shut the engine down again.. Installed the new one with the modified points, starting engine, RPM rises, voltage at the battery is...

Took the new VR off and opened it. No fused points but the one in the front was very tight, almost...

That regulator sits at the firewall right behind the air cleaner, so far away that it's a pain to work on it and I'm 6'4" tall..

Now with the new VR, is it possible that the connector metal inside the plug has also corrosion on it (which...

    Following Problem on my 68 Poncho.. I know it´s not a Mopar but I figure that the way our electric circuits work are kinda equal, so I hope some experts might help Two weeks ago my generator warning light turned on. So I measured the voltage at the battery -> ignition off -> 12,8V -> battery...
