good -- stuck with the tried and true 318 and 360 for what...40 years?! sure it got upgrades like EFI, but in whole, it's the same motor.


bad -- amp meters in the dash, taking the full load of the alternator through the wire harness, bulk head connectors, to the gauge, back to the wire harness, bulk head connectors and out to the battery.





They did correct the amp gauge problem around 1971 as they went to a shunt type amp gauge so the amp gauge only carried a small amount of the current. But probably not as accurate. Ron
