Meeeee 2!!!

Steve

I sent my fuel sending unit off to Desert Classic Parts. They did a wonderful job. Even sent it back with a new gasket and very well packaged and shipped. The texted pictures of it during the final testing of the unit. Very pleased and it looks marvelous!!!

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,

Steve

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???

Steve

Thank you for the info and I apologize for getting off topic.

Cheers,

Steve

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,

Steve

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,

Steve

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

Steve

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

Steve

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

Steve

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

Hi Jesse and thanks all for your assistance. Yes, Jesse, Charles recommended J&G Brake Drum Relining & Refurbishing from McHenry, Illinois.

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

Thanks again,

Steve

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.
