Hey guys. It's been about 8 years since I darkened the doorway of this great forum. Hope everybody is still alive and kicking. This game called life has unfolded and the 69 302 coupe my son and I built together oh so many moons ago has once again landed in my garage. My son is 25 now and off living his life and has no place for the stang. So it sits with me now. Bwah-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Anyway, I would like to get back on the horse (pun intended) and start asking some questions. Just thought I should say "howdy" first before just shamelessly picking your brains. Hope all is well.

All bolted up, ready to fire up.The car is filthy, will get a good detail Saturday morning. Here is a couple of pics of the garage mate 70 R/T Dodge Charger 440 4 speed , i am the 4th owner and 94,568 miles. I restored the car about 3 years ago but i have owned the car for about 10 years. 631/2 Galaxy fastback next.

Engine is in and hooked up , going to start it up tomorrow.

Looks sooooo much better now, better stance & much better looking wheels IMO.

Took a grungy old alternator, cleaned it up and gave it a little paint job. Now I just hope after all that work that it still works, or a re-build will be in order. View my build photo album by clicking on the image

Thanks to all your help here. I finished the 3g upgrade today on my 69 mach 351w(Msd Dist & Msd Box. Charging is good at 14.38v while in idle. Lights are bright , turn signals blink good at solid steady pace, while radio on & defroster fan on. My Tachometer works. Alt light came on at start up then turned off. I ended up using a junkyard 3g alternator from a 95 taurus v6 3.0 ohv. 130 amp small case 7" spacing . I swapped to V pulley while at Junkyard from an old Cadillac alternator , used my handy battery impact with 15/16 socket for pulley removal. I fabricated an extension bracket like Lanky ' s picture worked perfect. I used Pa Performance kit Voltage Regulator /harness. Due to my Factory Tachometer I think, my factory Harness had an extra wire which was connected to Stator stud on back of old 1g alternator. I called Pa Performance (they replied they never had that question before,as to where it connects to on 3G alternator). So they said connect it to Stator wire on 3G alternator . Hope this might help someone else.

Vicfreg , you are absolutely 100% correct . life is good in the garage at the moment. On vinyl , Neil Young, CSN and Young, Eagles, Led ZEP , Creedence and a heap of Blues guitarist's and the volume is loud. Also Stevie Ray Vaughn. The engine is back in it's home , just hooking everything up.

I honestly don't know. You first said it came from the signal harness, which I interpreted to mean the dash cluster. You later clarified it was the turn signal switch connector. Now you're showing a picture of a ground wire, possibly associated with the ignition switch. I don't know what I am seeing here...Sorry. The picture is part of the circuitry I rarely if ever see in my shop.
