scbill Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The white/black choke wire is 'S' for stator. It won't have any power unless the alternator is turning. This is the wire that appears to be the choke wire, it was cut and taped on the other end, looks like the right length and placement, voltage on this wire is as previously posted.

Stator is a separate terminal (lug) labeled (S) on the back of a 1G Have a closer look There are a couple of ways a 1G is wired, depending on whether you have a idiot light or an ammeter.. RJM (FFI) used to have concise and simple diagrams. Unfortunately we don't have them any more... Basically, if you had an idiot light the S wire went to the regulator and if you had an ammeter the terminal would only attach to the carb (IF the stock carb had electric assist!) Lots of carbs back then relied on a hot air choke stove and not an electrically heated element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought maybe the sta wire wrapped around the fld wire may have given the .38vdc reading, untangled, it still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for your choke. (but it certainly shouldn't have any power unless the engine is turning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bill Put new Moog 820 springs in the front. That leveled it out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machspeed Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Looks good, Jimmy! About to finish up re-install of the front grill and bumper after replacing the condenser yesterday. I'm going to do a small write-up on this, as it appears some things have changed with these. While this new condenser required some minor fit up work, I did not have to use spacers and such as previously noted. Easy install! Happy Fourth!!!

Big Blue went to the family reunion on Saturday and on the way down at about 11 AM we had to cut the A/C back quite a bit with heat. But when we left at about 5 PM after it sat all day and baked at almost 100F it was ~15 minutes until it really started getting cold. However, then it really did get cold, so I think it is working properly. I said all that to ask if that is par for the course on these older systems. I think it is but when I get in a new vehicle and it gets cold very quickly I start to wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fourth!!! please include the brand and part numbers of that condenser. it seems like it is not the factory dimensions by looking at the pictures. I know there is some play available in the j nut systems but I'm curious to see if you needed to modify beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
