Going full-field

[1968Dodge]

Hey guys, I thought I'd run this by everyone and get some ideas.

Last year I put a new mechanical voltage regulator and rebuilt alternator in my charger after having charging problems. Right after I started the car the voltage regulator stuck and I had full voltage to the dash. I then bought an electronic voltage limiter from year one, it fixed my sweeping ammeter gauge and the car charged just right.

Last night I took it for a ride and it went full field again, I thought maybe it was charging the battery from sitting, but after driving around for awhile with nearly +40 on the dash, something is wrong. Bad voltage regulator? If so, any ideas on why I am going through voltage regulators so quickly? The car has a mopar performance electronic ignition but is otherwise stock as far as the electrical system is concerned.

It's got me thinking that you may have gotten a bad rebuilt alt. and it's smoking your regulators. Not sure though so maybe some others will chime in.
