I recently purchased a 69 fastback with a 4 speed 390 original motor. I have a problem, where the charging system is not working. I have a new battery, a new starter, a new selonoid, and new regulator. I think the problem is either wiring or an open ground somewhere. I also have no headlights, although when i first brought it home, the lights worked, but now they do not. I purchased a manual so i can follow the wiring, but what i am looking for is, if anyone out there has a 69, i need to know for example, where does the top lead of the regulator go to, and then the second, third, and fourth.? This will allow me to trace my wiring. \\any ideas??

 

first off welcome to the site.i cant help too much with the wiring but the headlights may simply need to be replaced. as for charging, could the alternator be bad. i blew my alternator as soon a i got my 69er. Soaring, the forum dad , posted some wiring diagrams:

see if that helps. otherwise one of our other 69ers might be able to help you out

 

haha, funny you just posted this because my battery in my 69 coupe just suddenly died

 

There is no cure for your problem. The car is no good anymore. Therefore, you must sell it to me

 

These may or may not help:

 

Yes, but i think he'd rather sell it to me. Now mind, it's really messed up. so you have to let it go for cheap.

 

well, i already own a 69er and i sohuld get it since its in my area of technicality
