where is the complete install for the charging system upgrade?

[PetesPonies]

Looking for something to do to my '75. Evidently my battery is toast, so since I need a new one, thought I might do the upgrade to the charging system that everyone is happy with. Looking for the complete explanation start to finish. Posted in tech or somewhere?? Thanks

The P/M mods or the Chrysler/ Radio Shack mods?

I'm not talking about changing to a permanent magnet alternator. I'm talking about changing the regulator to the automotive type thats about $28 or so. That mod is what I'm looking for here.

I can't find the box my regulator came in. I think it was a RZ292. I got it from Advanced Auto. $13.99. When I burnt it up I got a replacement from a different store, the replacment was a $16.99 part. Glad it has a one year free replacement warranty.
Depending on what parts store you get it from makes a difference on the price.
If you follow the procedures in the link you will get a very good system. At a very good price. Just be sure the wires on the reg are correct, thats how I burnt mine up.
If you don't find one by part number, ask for one that fits a 75 Dodge Dart. Any engine size.
Easy swap, great function. On mine I get 14.5 volts by 1800 rpms with the lights on. Yours may have to rev a bit higher, I have converted to an LED tail/brake light. I have the turn signals converted to. The LED lights draw almost no current.
I got mine from www.superbrightleds.com.
