Mechanical. So that behavior is common And not to worry? Or not a bad gauge?

HI everyone, Just finishing up my 66. Having an issue with my ammeter. before I replace it I figure I'd consult the experts! I have upgraded to a stroked 289 and a C4. The alternator is a standard 66 Mustang alternator. It has been bench tested and the output is fine at approx. 14.5-15V. The...

Hi all, Sorry in advance for not finding the thread where this has been beaten like a dead horse.... I have a freshly rebuilt 289 (331 stroker) that I have put a Autolite 4100 on. It's mated with a supposedly "correct" bronco C4. This is all in a 1966 that came with 3 on a tree and a 170.... So...

Thanks John for the AWESOME answer!! Yes now that I think about having owned a 66 K code Mustang way back when, this CARB set up would never have been on a K code car (Maybe a Shelby GT350H since they were automatics?) Anyway. I appreciate the detailed answers. I have converted this carb to a...

Merry Xmas! If you're tired of wrapping gifts, and putting up decorations....Feel free to chime in. I have converted a 1966 170 with 3 on the tree to a 289 (331 stroker) with a C4. The carburetor I'm using is a 1966 Autolite 4100 as would have appeared on a K code mustang or other 4V application...

Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes! Btw, Silly question but do you work at WH or do you own it? or neither?

Yes! I'm using a regulated power supply that will cut off automatically if it senses a fault. So are you proposing that I eliminate the wire that runs from the alternator side of the 3 wire plug in the alternator harness to the FLD connection, and Replace it with a short jumper directly from...

Your probably right! I am both overthinking and confused! Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it!! Once I get the exhaust system in place I'll fire it up and see if I'm charging. If not, then I'll go from there.

Can you tell me what you mean by "B+" wire? I've got ground, field, stator, Battery....as the 4 possible connections on the alternator.

Good question!! If so, you can see that there were 2 wires going to that junction block. Viperwolf1 Where did the other end of the cut black wire on that stud connect to??

Thx! I'll be in my shop tomorrow and take some more pictures... The colors from the CJ pony parts alternator harness do NOT match the colors from the main harness side of the 3 wire connector unfortunately complicating the discussion!! My original harness did not have a provision for ( molded...

Thanks Paul! Firstly my truck is Arcadian Blue with Wimbledon White grill, bumpers and silver interior as it came from the factory. Trying to get it to look like it was delivered in 66. I did replace the 6cyl 3spd with a 66 date code 289 and a true Bronco 73 C4 tranny. The "short" harness I...

Here's a pic of what the Starter relay and Junction block look like today after a total restoration. I believe I have all the connections correct except I think I might be missing 1 wire as I may have purchased the incorrect alternator harness from CJ pony parts. My central question is: Should...

Hi, I am attaching a lousy pic (the only one I have) of the existing wiring for my 66. As you can see from the picture there appear to be 2 wires (blk/yel) and (blk) going to the junction attached to the inner fender next to the starter relay. If you look closely you can also see a ground wire...

My very original (at least I believe it to be!) 66 with a 6cyl did have the harness cross over the core. Here is a photo. In fact the new harness I bought from Dennis Carpenter is wired the same way with the split in the harness happening in the corner above the voltage regulator then heading...

Great Idea! Thanks Paul!

HI all, I see a thread from 2020 about this black "u-shaped" rubber grommet but no real solution looked available. Anyone out there re-making these? I have my old one but it's pretty hard. Any help would be appreciated. Looked at the usual suspects with no avail... Tom's ,WH, Graveyard...

Hi all! Working on my dash doing a complete resto. Everything is freshly painted and either all new or restored. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting the ashtray to fit well. Right now it's pretty crooked when you close it and doesn't sit nicely in the whole. It's the original 66...

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!

OK, I know it's really anal but that's just how I am when it comes to restoring stuff.... On the 66 the 2- piece jack hold down is in the Pass side rear. Both pieces of the hold down are available thru BroncoGraveyard. They do not however either show or include a carriage bolt or Nut to...
