This is on a 64 Fury 383 with cobbled up under hood wireing.
issue #1-points distributor-wireing to the input side of ballast
resister. We know that when engaging the starter, voltage to all
systems is reduced. However there is a wire that maintains full
voltage even when the starter is cranking . That wire needs to be on
the input side of the ballast resister, so that it gets full voltage
even when cranking. Where does that wire come from? Through the
bulkhead or from the starter relay or???
issue #2 fairly thin , chrome rectangular voltage regulator mounted on
the firewall with a 2 prong plug on the front side . No other wires.
Take off the plug and test both prongs on the regulator with the ign.
switch on , should one of the prongs have power to it? One prong goes
to a post on the alternator and the other prong goes to another post
on the alternator. No other wires to the alternator Shop manual
wireing diagram is too much for me to make out.
I THINK--the full time 12 volt wire to the ballast resister comes from
the starter relay, but I cannot find a ignition switched connection
that does not reduce voltage when cranking. HELP!!!......Thanks for
any input...................MO
