Hey everybody! I just installed a powermaster 140 amp alternator. My msd ignition and stereo was eating all the power so after installing the powermaster one wire everything was better. unfortunately once the day time running lights or headlights are activated no more blinkers. I made sure I disconnected the voltage regulator but unsure what other mistake I could have made. Anyone have clues?

Since you went with the one wire setup, what did you do with the field wire ? (Thinks that is what is called) on my 65, this was a yellow wire, that went o the fld on my old alt. I have the wire cut, and cap now.

Maybe that is still connected somewhere ? Not a expert on this. I went with a tough stuff 110, and I have not had a issue since. But also my regulator was disconected some time ago.
