:working: :working: :working:.....

and the result  :    Problem solved !!  YEAH

So what did I do ?  I installed a 30 amp relais  ....  between the Alternator and the Voltage regulator...  this relais works like a diode... I cut the blue wire.. put one end to  Number  87  the other end to number 86  number 85 goes to GROUND  and number 30 goes to the battery.   the Alternator charges now with stable  13.9 Volts...  the lights are bright...  and not even a
sign of flickering  ..

I think you have a voltage drop in the ignition system that you have bypassed with a relay. It's not a bad idea, but i would check further. The bulkhead connector is a weak area...

The OEM Distributor with the chome box was working fine...no voltage drop...no flickering..nothing. The bulkhead connector is fine  all contacts are bare metal .

But when I installed the MSD RTR Distributor...the problem started ...  but now...everything is fine!
I have also renewed all wires in the engine department... incl. 4 Ground Staps ! from the enige to the firewall...from the neg. terminal of the battery to the enige block   and to the radiator support...  and to the relais

That will do it! Glad you have found the problem!
