here they are if ya dont mind if u look on your classic see if the wires are all hooked up right i belive mine are but u never know

**bighoss88lx** · 10-05-2005, 08:16 PM

Everything on the back of the alternator looks fine according to my wiring schematics. I would just make sure they all have a good connection and are not grounding themselves out on the alternator housing.

Now the ones on the solenoid all look fine except the 2 on the small terminals. They look backward according to the wiring schematics. I want 12second5.0 to verify that with his schematics, so dont change them. The red/light green wire should be going to your coil and the red/light blue wire should be going to your park/neutral/back-up light switch on the transmission.

brian72_stang · 10-05-2005, 09:01 PM

wow ya i think so honestley i belive your right but ill wait to its clear the red/light green i belive its light yellow or maybe its faded a lot but that is goin to my coil if you see its cut to go to the petronix coil for some reason i would like some one here to look at it up close to see it

What about the wire going to the capacitor? With it just twisted together like that for a connection it could be vibrating and causing an intermittent connection.

brian72_stang · 10-05-2005, 10:37 PM

i dont belive that i need that capasator its for the radio but i twisted it to gether but it has yet to come undone and the car dosent start its not like it turns it self off all the time (well it happed 2 times) but that capasator has been like that for about a year and a half ill take more pics of whare things go tomarow the wires that come off the silanoid

brian72_stang · 10-05-2005, 10:54 PM

That wire that you hae crappily twisted together going to that capacitor is for an aftermarket coil. You need to fix that right because it is important. If it shorts out or comes undone you can kiss your coil and possibly your distributor goodbye. I have a Mallory Comp 9000 distributor and a Mallory coil on my 65 and that capacitor is required.

brian72_stang · 10-06-2005, 08:23 PM

well heres the whole story that capasator is for my old malory ignition system it kept crapin out every 5 months and was 200 bucks each time so i put the petronix in it even the dudes at alamo classic mustang told me i didnt need that but its still connected just to make shure about every week i check it to make shure its still connected and i have never had to tighten it so i think it still works and that is the exact same system i had on my the mallory you have and im probley goin to pick up one this week on e bay or see if napa autozone has one

brian72_stang · 10-06-2005, 08:32 PM

did you ever get your problem fixed

because my 71 was doing the same thing turned out to be the ignition switch under the steering column.

I can't really help with to much wiring because mine has been completely re-wired from the original owner for electronic ignition with control module and coil. and was a 302 auto converted to 351 four speed with power disc brakes. most of what I'm working with isn't covered by original diagrams so its kinda trial and error

good luck
