If your wiring is stock I recommend just rebuilding yours.The parts places should have rebuild kits.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I just picked up an altenator from o'reiley listed as a 70? amp altenator with the square back for a 75 duster. Don't matter witch one I ground does it? The one they listed for my car was 40 something amps and not in stock.
Also I was wondering, since the main wire runs through the amp meter before going to the battery (is that right?)would it be a good up grade to run a wire straight from the back of the altenator straight to the pos. terminal on the battery? Are there any cheap easy upgrades like that?
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

ground either field wire & yes running a wire from alt(batt) to batt positive is good but instead connect it to the starter relay as it's a better place to connect to.
