right on. My dash pad was a black repop too.. so I had to dye it. it was a sems brand dye from a local upholstry shop. they shot it for me and it turned out excellent.

Interesting Kelly. Which shop did it and also is there a part number for the color you used?

kelico · Poncho Master!

Hey Jerry.. the place is C R Techniques
Phone :(403) 279-9116
Address : 4527 1 St SE, Calgary, AB T2G2L2
and the dye I got was mixed up at a place in the NE. CR techniques MIGHT still have the information on my job, but I DO remember that the color was a standard mix and not a custom color so I could get it mixed again if i needed to. they dyed the two colors of the interior. so the package tray, door panels, seats, kick panels, arm rests, wind lace and wind lace caps, and dash. i have a small portion of it left, but it's in Calgary... and i'm not.. so I cant just run to the garage and give you the code off the can.. Sorry..

it was a SEM brand dye.

Nice car Kelly. the colour looks like Chevelle Silver blue Metallic.
Can't wait to see car in person. Your just across the river.
Summer is coming.

Hi Brian... thanks very much.. and yes to the color.. it's an incredible blue and I havent seen a photo yet that captures the color exactly.
looking forward to the summer too.

I was just working on aiming the headlights and found that they were getting dimmer as I left them on (yes the car was running) to the point were the car died until I boosted it again. I'm getting about 13 volts with the engine revving at about 1100, but it drops off if i let her idle. so I'm thinking my alternater or voltage reg may have a problem.

You should be getting at least 14 volts and no more than about 14.7 at 1100 I would say Kelly.

by all means do.. I hope it helps for sure.

Thanks Carl. I'm going to do a few more tests to see that things are connected.. My manuals are all in alberta, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what goes where..
I'm hoping, since the reg and alternator are new, that the problem is just a wire not connected or something.
I noticed the ground stud on the back of the alternatoer is missing the ground strap.. does that go to the manifold? or is it a longer sheilded wire that goes to a chassis ground termination?

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

I looked at my Acadian alternator. I am pretty sure it's the same as your Beaumont unit. On the back it has the big power wire to the big stud, the 2 prong connector to the square hole at the top and a black wire that goes to that terminal you mention. All four wires come out of the same harness.

here's mine

So no small black wire coming out of the harness?

kelico · Poncho Master!

not that I can see... but I'll have to check again.. it should have a ring connector on it right?
it's the trouble with the "crossover" between chevelle and GTO wiring harness' that I was having.. either way.. it should still be there.

do you happen to have a photo of the harness complete and mounted?

I'll try to get picture off mine and be back to you. It will be a little tough because I haven't "rotated" my alternator housing yet from the 6 cylinder orientation. It's a 1/4 turn out so the wires are down lower.

How's this?
