Operation 70 six pack Charger R/T: electrical woes...

The amp gauge was pe***ng to the right as soon as the car started and the instrument gauge lens would fog up. Well, all indications showed a high amp output, so had find out why. Seems the alt was putting out too many amps. I changed out the alt with a known good one and all seems well. I also swapped out the voltage regulator, I would assume the high amp output could have damaged the VR that was in there. Good to go.
