John_Mc 91 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi, I know it is linked to the distributor, but not sure where it hooks in, is it a ground?? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It looks like it is a yellow wire with a black tracer and it would go to the cutout on the generator. The other 2 wires look like they are red with a yellow tracer and go to the coils. Link to post Share on other sites

John_Mc 91 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 By the way Tom, speaking of generators, is there a place that you would recommend to “refresh” and insure my generator is in tip top shape????? Link to post Share on other sites

Waldren 13 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Are you sure that is not the temp. wire? Link to post Share on other sites
John_Mc 91 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 No I think the temp wire is on the left inner fender. Link to post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 That wiring is for cars later than 1941. The 1937 temp indicator wire runs along the inner fender along with the headlight wires. The 37 has a cutout and only uses one wire to the generator. I believe that the Temperature sending unit is in the radiator on the 37. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_Overfield 38 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The year of the Lincoln in question, whoosh, right over my head, my bad. The photos I did send were from my 41 Continental . Link to post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It is too bad that you deleted the post. It showed the correct way to wire a 41-48 car and a very nice engine compartment. The photo that I posted is from an unrestored 37 Zephyr. It is a very nice car that lives in the Phoenix, AZ area. It is not my car, but if I were inclined to add a car to my collection, I would be camping on the owner's doorstep. Link to post Share on other sites
