1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: 66 Alternator Gauge Issue
« on: March 25, 2023, 02:59:55 PM »
OK, I made videos of my 1] current solid state voltage regulator, 2] a new solid state one and 3] an old-style reproduction of the original style [non-solid state] one. ALL exhibited the same jumping of the ammeter needle! So, my conclusion is the voltage regulator is not the cause. Hmmm. Now what???

Also, should the cover be glossy black or satin/flat black??? Thanks!

Cheers,

Steve

All my wires are tightly connected and are not brittle also. I will try a new regulator and see what happens...gotta find one first!!!

Thanks,

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 66 Alternator Gauge Issue
« on: March 17, 2023, 03:34:39 PM »
My alternator gauge jumps around while I am driving. While idling, it is ok. When I give her the get up and go the needle jumps and flutters around.

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve the issue? I have the standard 42 amp alternator and Marti voltage regulator if that helps. No other issues. Another fellow reached out to me saying he has the same issue. Thoughts???

My alternator gauge jumps around! Could that be the constant voltage regulator [new solid state design] also??? Next, where can you find a NOS or used one to try???

Thanks,

OOOPS! My bad! The one I have is a very good C6Z unit. The tube has some rust buildup in it but overall a restorable unit. Thanks again Bob for the contact.

Cheers,

COOL! Thanks Bob. I have a very good C4 core that I was going to sell! Now, I can get it restored. Yeah!

Bob, I paid $75 with return shipping in April of 2021. Very reasonable at the time.

Here is before and after. I used JV Restorations. I was happy with the results.

Thanks all. I have reached out to Jesse and he is going to assist me. Probably sourcing one that he has extras of. He knows of JG Relining but I would prefer a refinished one.

Again, this site has proved invaluable and thanks to all who offered assistance.

All the best,

Steve

I shall send you an email to see if you have an extra laying around.

Thanks again,

How did the drum relining company tip that Charles gave go?

Bob, I did not reach out to the relining company. Their website looked interesting but just better to scrap it to be safe. Thanks.

Hi. Need one [1] brake drum [[66 version without nubs] ready to mount. One of mine is cracked and must be scrapped. Safety first.

Appeals / Cracked KH Brake Drum
« on: January 27, 2023, 08:36:52 AM »
I have this original KH brake drum. During the course of my annual check and cleaning of the brake system, I noticed this hairline crack [see photo]. There was no issue in braking, but I felt prudent to remove it and replace both drums with some American made racing drums from Cobra Automotive.

OK, me question is can this drum be repaired??? If not, does anyone have an extra, just 1 that they might turn loose of??? My car is an early 66 model [406].

Thanks for looking,

Steve
