260 Tach, rectifier

[dwilfong]

So 5 wire Merc rectifier/ regulator is a good choice for the charging setup with a 16 amp stator?
Thy are not that much $$$.

one piece plate on the 260, no poppet, washesr, no thermostats is the normal water cooling style what do you have ive never had a 260with that much pressure even at 7500

Look like Sierra ones, use them all the time with no issues. I'm the only one I know that pays the $$$ for Mercury latest and greatest.

Update I replaced the Fuel regulator and found that my dash guage was reading low by 17 lbs! Now I think its a grounding problem that makes my dash gauges read the wrong values. I will let you know what I find. Thank you all for your input, I knew I should have made a tester for the Fuel pressure sender.

Hey Whit, is the tach the only gauge acting up? Not that something couldn't have happened but I thought it all should of been solid at the dash when I redid/ cleaned up the birds nest and added that fuse block. On the battery end though might be corrosion in a ring terminal crimp or something, don't think I ever did anything on that end. Hate gremlins, I laid under that dash hours trying to avoid them things, tightening connections and such. Good luck-hate to hear these issues. Gonna be badass when she is lined out though.

I haven't got anything done on the 02 other than collecting parts, gonna be upset sitting on the slow-toon cause the Ally ain't ready. Last time we talked or texted(don't remember which) we had a death and mind wasn't focused. Call anytime.
