I'm needing some help. I have an over charging issue with my 70 Challenger 440. Brand new wiring harness, new voltage reg., and the alternator checks good. I have plenty of ground connections. It is fine at idle but, when it warms up and I give it some gas above 2000 rpm for a length of time, the amp gauge pecks and the lights brighten up. Shut it off and let it cool for a while, 10/15 minutes, start it up and it seems fine until it gets some throttle. it idled for about 10 minutes and seemed fine, pulled it out of the shop, turned onto the street, grabbed second gear, and bam, needle pegged again. I'm at a loss. Could it be the alternator maybe overcharging so much it by passes the regulator? HELP!!!
