    Starter wire terminals

    in Buick - Pre War

    Posted

    Your in luck. It doesn't matter which small terminal on the starter solenoid gets which feed. Those two small terminals on the solenoid are hooked to opposite ends of the same coil, so it really doesn't matter.

    Good Luck & Have Fun!

    A 6 Volt Generator Question

    in Technical

    Posted

    Hopefully I can clear some things up. First off, you will not damage the generator by motoring it as long as it's not done for a long period of time. It is a very common quick test to see if generator functions. As a matter of fact, most rebuilders will motor a generator quickly to test and see direction before testing for output. Second, a generator can not really motor too fast. If you motor a generator without full fielding it, it will motor faster than if the field is grounded (full-fielded). Let me know if I can help you or further explain anything else.

    Single- or three-wire replacement alternator?

    in American Motors (AMC), Nash, & Rambler

    Posted

    John,

    The only advantage to the 3-wire would be that they will excite and charge at a lower RPM than the 1-wire alternators. You should be able to get either version in any clock position. If you are planning on ordering one online, I can supply you with whatever you want in any clock position desired. You should also be able to find a local rebuilder that can do the same. Let me know if I can help. Good Luck.

    How to wire an alternator in 1949 Plymouth so everything will work right

    in Technical

    To answer your original question, you will want to tie the alternator output stud in to the wire connected to the "BAT" terminal on the regulator. Sorry to hear of your bad luck with the generator. I'm a big fan of keeping them original, but I understand your frustration and reaching your limits. I specialize in repairing and restoring these old units. My process is very thorough and not cheap, but I've been able to avoid the situation your dealing with because of it. Good Luck! As always, feel free to contact me if you ever need any help.

    1950-1955 starter

    in International Harvester / IHC

    That number wasn't one of the numbers listed. Without digging too deep, I'm not sure what the original application was for that starter. None of that really matters if it works on the truck. If I were you, I would just have the starter you have and that you know works fixed. I'm not going to comment on another rebuilders pricing, but I would have to charge you more than that if I had a complete rebuilt starter ready to ship. Would you feel comfortable changing the drive assembly, I could provide you with the parts and save you some money. Did you mention to the rebuilder that you just wanted the minimum done to get the truck running?

    The book I used was a Delco Remy Truck application catalog.

    I'd be happy to try and help you out and see about supplying one, but it looks like I will need more information. Do you have a starter that could be rebuilt or is it missing all together? For the 1950-52 L-110 truck I show three different starters listed depending on voltage and transmission. The 1953-54 R-110 shows two different starter numbers and the 1955 R-110 also shows two different starters. To make sure we get you what we need, I'd need some more info and if you have an original starter, rebuilding that would be the best bet.

    Let me know if I can help.

    Distributor Cap

    Tom,

    If you don't have someone nearby that can help you out, I'd be happy to assist you with your distributor issue. Let me know if I can help, feel free to contact me by email at jason@aerrebuild.com or toll-free @ 1-866-228-0218. I would have to agree with Mark also, get it taken care of during the winter and you'll be ready to go come spring. I have a lot of customers who wait till fall/winter when they park it for the winter to have me work on their starter, generator or distributor and then that gives me the time to get it done and they'll be ready for spring.
