Re: Edelbrock 60779 heads

What compression ratio do you want to run? Then what dynamic CR are you looking for? You could throw so kb399 pistons in and get pretty high, I needed.

Re: rust hole in cab mount

Pretty normal fix. I replaced the cab mount on the Passenger side and the entire floor on the driver side. All the pieces to fix this are available from Kenny Exline. If you are looking for full restoration, then removing the cab is a good idea to replace all the pieces of the support and mount. The...

Re: Edelbrock 60779 heads

Since you already pulled the trigger I will say, those Eddie heads are good and a lot of LAs out there running them. Good you are planning some machine work to them their quality is not what is once was. You will need new head bolts/studs special for those heads. Any la rockers will work, and you ca...

Re: voltage spike?

Constant 15 at idle and 18-19 volts at speed is not an intermittent short. My point about a regulator being a regulator is just saying I looked all over for a replacement like what I had, the OEM Chrysler part. I ordered several of them and none worked. I picked up a solid state one that is nothing ...

Re: voltage spike?

You might pull the alternator and have it bench tested as well. A VR is a VR really. Not sure the year matters, I replaced mine with an electronic one, at least that is the one that finally worked. I used a vr706 from autozone.

Re: voltage spike?

That is not how the 1970 VR works and it is NOT adjustable. 1970 is an isolated field alternator and the VR is in the circuit between the alt field and ground. The VR is an electronic unit that varies the resistance to ground, thus limiting current flow thru the field. Are you using an OEM VR or so...

Re: voltage spike?

I would guess your new VR is faulty. The system is pretty simple, the VR limits the amount of volts that are sent to the field on the alternator. The more sent the higher the charge. Your new VR is sending too much to the alternator. The original VRs allowed for some adjustment up or down in charge....

Re: Clutch Size 69 D100 318 NP435

Spoke with HRclutch. They didn't know for certain either. They said pull it and measure it. They were about $400 for the clutch kit either way. The Mcleod is a little more than $200, was just on sale and will probably go one sale again. But if I need to pull it to figure it out, probably won't be a...

Re: Clutch Size 69 D100 318 NP435

Haven't called them. I will have to find out if they do high performance clutches at the same time. Looking for something that will hold up to around 400 HP.

I will pick up the phone.

Clutch Size 69 D100 318 NP435

So everything I read by searching on here tells me that the clutch in the D100 is 11". But when I go to pick a clutch on Mcleod etc, it tells me 10.5" I believe the people on here, but why is there so many sites thinking 10.5" is correct? Buying the clutch now for a winter install. Getting a mcleod ...

Most on here make their own cab mounts. I used horse stall mat to make mine. But what you have listed there from Robin will work.

Re: voltage spike?

I would say that you have something failing. Probably VR. I didn't know as much about this until I had Alt and VR problems and went through a few of each to get my stuff working. There are really only a couple of component in the whole system in these older trucks. Since you have a digital gauge you...

Re: Help identifying electrical part

Just to be clear, we are talking about the part in the 1st picture of this post. The other picture is the picture of the voltage regulator I posted to answer somones guess that I was holding a VR. Unless you are saying both parts are voltage regulator? @soopernaut is pointing you in the right direc...

Re: Help identifying electrical part

I guess we should go back and ask what year and model is your truck. Because your other picture doesn't look like a voltage regulator to me. But maybe there is some cert feature you have. The standard VR doesn't look anything like what you are holding. It looks a lot like this... https://www.ebay.co...
