Not Charging?
Guys another problem. Helping a young friend out. Alternator was installed and the hot post contacted the block. I don’t know how long it stayed that way but it was corrected and alternator swapped out. He said they checked it at two Auto places checked good. I swapped it out checked most wiring and it looks intact. But it’s still not charging 12.4 at battery running at idle. Another curve is it’s running bad pooping thru exhaust sounds like right bank. Electric fuel pump and Aux fans added. Any helpful advice.

Will do. There was a splice right there and a weak spot. Also there was some smoke from the upper dash area. I guess I’ll try to find a wiring diagram for a 72 I have one for a 75.

Pull the dash, or you take your chances. These cars burn to the ground when that stuff happens.
