BigBrother-84 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Big Bro has a 7V Choke Heater. When I replaced his carb, the new one came with a 12V and I swapped them. I'm going right now to confirm where the wire goes. Stay tuned! Verified: These are the two ends of the same wire: No relay. So, my proposed diagram isn't so bad?

Gary Lewis Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Verified: These are the two ends of the same wire: No relay. So, my proposed diagram isn't so bad? Jeff - If you have a 7V choke heater then you do splice that wire into the W/Bk on the harness I sent. But your diagram is the same as mine, with the difference being that you call out the splice. Mine doesn't call out any actions as it was just to show the wiring. But if we get further into this we may need to call out lots of actions.

Well, hem… Gary, I would respectfully pretend that I found the “missing link” in your diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your respect, Jeff, but your own picture tends appears to show the W/Bk wire as the center wire of the 3-terminal connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I appreciate your respect, Jeff, but your own picture tends appears to show the W/Bk wire as the center wire of the 3-terminal connector. Agree absolutely! But since this «“S”-to-Stator socket» wire (the missing link) isn’t shown in your diagram, this made me confused. I was wondering if I had to cut this rectangular harness connector and splice the “S” wire directly with the Choke Heater one, leaving the 3G Stator socket empty. As illustrated in your diagram. As Jim instructed me, it must be connected to the Stator socket of the alternator, otherwise it won’t work. This is certainly an evidence for any alternator scholars , but a dummy like me follows his masters advices to the letter. And so maybe stupidly cutting a connector, splicing two wires and leaving empty an important socket… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is that it is so obvious to me as I've been reading schematics since I was a kid, and I don't realize it isn't obvious to others. So I appreciate your help. When your upgrade, our prototype, works then we'll need to go through the steps showing people how to do it themselves. So please take plenty of pics as you do the installation and I'll have to put them with the pics I took while making the harness and come up with the step-by-step.

BTW, I went to my local NAPA. All their providers had no stock of 95A and 130A "Taurus 94-95". The guy took the phone and made couple of calls. After 30 minutes of searching, he found one, will arrive by next Monday. Fate made the decision for me, it will be a 130A. A remanufactured unit, from CVC Techno, a Montreal based alternator and starter remanufacturing company for all types of vehicles. Hoping it is good quality, but I am confident since this appears to be a serious company, more than 50 years of expertise.

Question: What size for the MegaFuse?Sometimes fate makes the right decisions for us. :nabble_smiley_wink:If it is a 130A alternator I'd go with a 150A fuse.

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Go for a 150A! Yup. 150. Glad you went with the 8.25". Hopefully you don't need a slightly longer belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
