It was a regulator problem and every Mopar mechanic knew to replace
the standard regulator with either the "heavy duty" or the electronic
replacement.,
The original was the Echlin/Napa VR32 style, while the heavy duty was
the VR34, or the externally adjustable Heavy Duty VR35


Ah yes I remember those numbers.

I liked NAPA ignition parts back then because they still used the brass
terminals in the distributer cap and the points and caps would never be a
problem. IIRC correctly there was a co named Standard whose parts weren't
too bad.

Hey Claire was the Champion plugs stock # RJ 45 for most Chrysler's?
Most used RN14Y and RJ14Y (slant sixes, 318 and 360 standard
performance) and RN12Y or RJ12Y for 273, 340, and 360 HP)
