Re: What do I really have?
What I have is S1 from the battery to the cluster. A20 from the cluster to the Alternator and All the places A20 goes.
So Is my system charging through the ammeter? I have a 72 wiring giagram that show it wired this way to the cluster. This is pix for last post Here is post of numbers on my block. Hoping you can tell me more.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: What do I really have?
What does the tag on the stabilizer say ?\nThat motor looks to me like a 440. If the distributor is in front toward the radiator, it's either a 440 or 413. If the distributor is in the rear it's a 318.\n\nDoes the Travco have disc or drum front brakes ? Post a picture of the front of it. Yes the charging system is through the amp Guage.\nBTW the AMP gauges rarely work and even when they do they are worthless. I put an Autometer voltage gauge in my Travco.

Re: What do I really have?
The ammeter was a weak point on the 73 and earlier Dodge platforms. The shunt resistor built into the ammeter burns out leaving you stranded. Dodge changed the design in 74 that uses a short section of wire in the alternator charge wire as a shunt monitor for the ammeter which is actually a millivolt meter. All modern day ammeters are based on the remote shunt design.\n\nDave
