chrysler electrical problems A good electrical tester is gunna be your friend!!http://www.autoshoppingcenter.com/te...US/multimeter/

I DON'T REMEMBER ANY ONE PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER'S , back then. do you know the reg. is bad or is your bat. going dead, you're putting on a new reg., charging the bat. and its ok for another few weeks. if your bat. is low the alt. won't charge 100% so it could be the bat.

Surely you jest! The factory alternator on that car is only rated at 46 amps
I wish I could find a bigger one.
Though when I took it to the auto parts store for testing, they said it was fine.
I do think it is the battery. Now I just have to save my nickels, dimes, and some aluminum cans to get another battery.
Then I have to get yet another voltage regualtor.
Wish I could find a nice high output alternator with internal regulation like I used to have on my Chevy.
Man that was easy!

thats about all any of them had in 65. a bad bat. shouldn't burn up your reg. why not put a built in reg. gm alt on the car. if you can mount it, it will work just like it does on a gm car. helped a guy hook up one on a 63 289 ford not long ago. works great.
