Good afternoon Terry, We live within blocks of the US border, 23 miles from Vancouver, getting the information on the hot wire system I though it best to get one of the members from the car club to give me a hand so it may be a while before I get back to it. I will be in touch later, thanks again for all you help you dont know how much I appreciate the time you spent , Regards Bruce

Terry, Thank you very much for all your help and I will prepare to try to follow thru with your ideas. We are on the west coast of Canada (3 hours apart) Regards Bruce

Terry, In answer to your question about the 2 green wires on the battery side of the coil, each wire has its own terminal Which I have tug on and made sure they were well secured. In checking the coil once a gain ther is no sign of any voltage. I also checked the battery connection at the relay & it show 5.7 V

Terry, I will check all connections, The wire that comes from the Ignition comes from the bundle that I mentioned & is a good connection that did not appear to be in good shape and I have checked that connection as well as the wire that goes to the relay is a tight connection. Bruce

Terry With the key on I can turn the engine over, Iam not sure if that is important. The wires that I mentioned earlier that were in a bundle under the coil did not appear to be in good shape--- it could be the one that comes from the ignition switch has been compromised, which in turn would cause the problem we are having. Would it make sense to run a wire from the ignition switch directly to the coil if so what gauge would you suggest. Or better still what would your recommendations be? Bruce

Yes it did Bruce

Terry, OK

Terry, Yes there is a wire that goes to the battery terminal on the relay I disconnected that one still 0 at the coil Bruce

Terry, there are 2 wires on the Negative side of the coil color is not recognizable one wire goes to the Transmission relay and the other wire is from a bundle just under the coil, it appears that all the wiring is origina! Bruce

Terry With the ignition on and testing as you suggested the reading is 0 B ruce

Terry B At the Battery It reads 5.97 At the Ign key tumbler the reading is 5.95 Yes I have a wiring diagram for the correct model, of the car. Bruced Watson

Some time ago I Had asked for help on my 1947 Chrysler Windsor that had no spark--- since that time i have covered most of the replys such as-- The rotor does turn, the points open & close, the gap setting on the poins are correct. I installed a new coil & points. When I turn on the ignition there dose not appear to have any movememnt of the gauges. If I turn the lights on the Ammeter gauge does move. In testing there appears to be no power at the coil. My limited knowledge of car wiring has left me stumped. The start of the problems was with the transmission relay for the Fluid drive system. I had the relay gone over and cleaned to make sure the fuse was connecting. Again in my limited knowledge of wiring it is almost like a ground condition? Any help would be very much appreciated, Bruce Watson

At this stage I have gone thru most of the suggestions offered. While cranking the en.gine the ROTOR dose turn ,the Points open and close, the gap is correct according to the manual. If the timming chain is broken or has jumped some notches should you still be able to get a spark? Many thanks for all your input it really helps, Bruce

Iwill have to get back to you on the oil pressure etc It may be a few days before I can do some of the tests. Thanks again Bruce

Terry, Thank you again for the iformation, it is important to look at all the options that could be the link to not having any spark Regards Bruce Watson

T I thank you for your reply and good information. Reading between the lines, if the rotor does not move during the engine cranking the mechanical problem then could be the timming chain or other mechanical problems? Bruce

My 47 Chrysler will not start, due to no spark. We have gone thru a lot of the electrical and do not see any thing out of order. My question is if the timiming chain is the problem (and this might be a stupid question) would there be no spark? Bruce

NO, I am looking at the possibility of replacing the engine in my 1947 Chrysler Windsor 6 cylinder flat head. Bruce

The topic was under parts wanted, The party I am looking for is a RERBUILT ENGINE for a 1947 Chrysler windsor 6 cylinder, Bruce

Rebuilt engine for 1947 Chrysler Bruce

Thank you very much for your remarks , I have made note & will follow up on your suggestions , Regards Bruce

I have had some problems with the down shifting & finally sent my relay away and had it rebuilt. After re installing it , when I turned on the ignition the relay buzzes!! Can any body identify what the problem may be? Would appreciate your responses, Bruce Watson

Dave, The relay seems to be called by different names Kick down relay Transmission relay But it controls the Fluid drive transmission/ I dont have a photo of it. Bruce

I am having trouble with the feed relay on my 47 Chrysler. Is there any one that knows where I could have it rebuilt,, Thank you in advance for your replies Bruce
