My friend has a 72 Dodge challenger that has a problem of constant overcharging of the battery/electrical system..it has the electronic conversion...he has replaced the alternator,ballast resistor,and votage regulator with no luck...if anyone has any ideas on what to do next, He would surely appreciate it.
What color is the voltage regulator. I'll assume it came with the conversion kit.....if it's "blue"...that's your problem,....constant output regulator

Why would a "constant output" regulator cause this problem?
Take your meter (you do have one?) and with the veh. running on a good fast idle (slow cruise) check one probe RIGHT ON the regulator case, the other proble RIGHT ON the battery neg. terminal. You want the less the better, less than .5V or less. Try with lights on/off, or heater blower.
.5V or more indicates the regulator case is not truely grounded to the battery case.
Could be a bad regulator.
