I like DST. If we didn't have it in June the sunrise would be at 4 AM and sunset at 7:30. When the kids were young and lived at home the extra hour was key for playing catch, bike riding, taking the dogs for a walk. Now that I'm older it helps with us attending cruise nights. I do not like driving the antique cars after dark.

Awesome! Thanks guys for the info. I'll have a look at the Jeep one seeing as though I don't think the 120 amp will be enough. I like the fact as well that they are the Denso ones as well and I might be able to actually get spares for it here. Looking at the pics of them, they look like they have a pos and neg for the field winding. How do you wire these?

Electric, Gauges, & Lights / More Efficient Bulbs for Brake...

Last post by Black and Blown - March 21, 2025, 01:40:29 PM

Are there any "easy" replacement bulbs out there (LED or other low-energy requiring bulbs) that would just swap in to my 1970 Charger using the existing bulb sockets/connectors?

I guess now that I understand a little more about the idling/ammeter weakness of these cars, I'm inspired to reduce the load of the bulbs.  TIA

That's a good question, it will have a serp belt pulley on it. I don't recall if I took the pulley off my old "square back" or found a pulley laying around. I know that's not helpful, but coming up with a v-groove pulley wasn't that hard. Sometimes parts stores or shops have various alternator pulleys laying around

1997-98 Dodge vans and others, or 97-98 Jeep grand Cherokee were equipped with a 130+ amp alternator. That's what's worked well for me for the past 8 years. My car has fuel injection and electric fans, but the stereo is super basic 

It does take some "fiddling" to get mounted up, but it's not that hard

Can you get the V groove pulleys with the 90's stuff? I think that is why I went with the 80s alt
