  1. I would like to convert it to 12v like my plymouth but the Desoto is so original and in great shape for its age.I think it would be a bad idea to modify it in any way. I also think converting it would open a hole other can of worms because it has the tip-toe transmission with a few solenoids that i don't wanna mess with.
  2. i want to say thank you for your help.i don't get a lot of time to work on my cars. So i'll have to get back to it on the weekend.i will keep you all posted. Again THANK YOU for taking the time out of your day to help a fellow enthusiast.It is truly appreciated.
  3. Thanks!!!! yeah Iv turned almost every nut and bolt on the plymouth but the desoto seems overly engineered at times. the plymouth is a lot more simple to work on. luckily the plymouth was already converted to 12v before i bought it.Iv also owned it a lot longer.the desoto is so OG i don't want to alter it to much.
  4. thank you.......... my 53 plymouth has never given me as much trouble. most of the stuff on the desoto has been rebuilt
  5. First of all I want to say thank you for responding.I polarized regulator and generator still not charging...I dont know what is up with this f!@#$%^& thing. i am soooooo frustrated!!!! p.s i have the Desoto shop manual.
  6. ok unplugged the battery cable and the car dies. what dose that mean?
  7. thanks for your reply!!!! the amp gauge dose nothing at all as if its not even hooked up. i know it worked before thats why im so confused. i do have a repair book but some of the wording confuses me at times.ill try to unhook the battery and see what it dose. i took the battery in to the place i got it from and thay said it was fine but ill check anyway. the generator has been gone through not to long ago so i know its good.im at my wits end.thinking of getting rid of the car.
  8. So I had my starter rebuilt and got that working ok but now the battery dose not charge.i can get the car started after charging with a battery charger.I can drive it around but as soon as i shut the car off it will not start. No clicking or anything.Every thing worked fine before the starter issue but now im wondering if I shorted something out when i was messing with the starter. my dumbass forgot to unhook the battery and i think i shorted out the amp gauge. In other words dose the amp gauge create a circuit acting like a fuse? could this be the reason the battery dose not charge?
