I just re wire my Rampage and did all this Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 05/16/12 01:22 AM.

If you are using the older type reg and that 73 style alt you need to ground 1 field post and feed the other 1 from the regulator. Last edited by Just-a-dart; 05/16/12 01:28 AM.

You LOST me now.... what regulator has 3 wires... the old style has 1 wire and the new has 2 wires EDIT yes the regulator MUST be grounded... either style Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 05/16/12 01:33 AM.

(2)wires to the reg. 12volt+ input, (1) field wire output, ground the case(chassis) If you are using that with a newer 2 field terminal ALT you will need to ground 1 field teminal on the ALT and run the other field terminal to the regulator field teminal. The newer 72 up style REG works different field for ALT grounds thru the REG. They do not wire the same. Last edited by Just-a-dart; 05/16/12 02:18 AM.

Not necessarily............mine would drop at idle to 12.5 volts that`s why I stepped up to a toyota pre runner 60 amp and got rid of that old stuff............WAY beter........13.0-13.5 at idle and 14.5-14.7 above 2000 rpm`s.............. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

The regulator wont help a bit IF the voltage isnt there to begin with.. the regulator takes care of the top end of the voltage... as in when to shut it off... if you want to increase the output you start with a bigger alt(and some dont charge great at idle) OR you increase the speed of the alt as in pulley size but make sure you dont over rev the alt... you can start spitting the epoxy and rotor wires off of it... all alt have a MAX rpm for them... my buddy went through this on his ford till I made him a new pulley size... I run a Denso(production Chrysler alt) 85 amp on the race car and the same one on my Rampage street/drag car with the P3690731 race regulator... I havent put a charger on that car in YEARS
