Quote: I thought about the high voltage and so what I did is disconnected the bulkhead connector (1st plug in closest to master cylinder) to sort of eliminate the alt and charging system and that didnt change a thing. Rear taillights were still flickering with the idle of the car. I didnt dare rev it up as I didnt want to burn another set of bulbs (they arent cheap anymore)
'71 must really be different than '72, 'cuz if that connector is disconnected on a '72, it won't run (no power to VR or ignition coil). If the harnesses are the same between years, or nearly so, you've got something weird going on if your car still runs with the harness disconnected...
