Re: Progress report on my 64 Dodge project

Mo,

I am a little concerned that you said a resistor was installed to drop
voltage.  The mechanical limiter actually adjusted output based on
load.  A resistor is not able to do that.  If he actually installed a
5 volt regulator in the case you are good to go.

Here is a link to a good article on the regulator and how to replace
it with an electronic unit:

Thanks for the great update on your project.  If I got a fraction of
the work done on my car that you have done on yours it would be good.

Take Care
Dennis
