hI GUYS!!!My 56 has a 272 y-block and it runs good,even though it has not been on a trip yet.The battery light is on when I run it,and it must be discharging.Where do all the wires going to the coil go to?There are 3 wires on mine,and if they are on wrong,will it discharge?thanks

 

the - one goes to the dist,the other 2 go to plus side.

 

Thanks 312!!!I will check it out in the morning!!

 

After checking the coil as that may be where ya get juice to the field post on the generator. you must have juice to the field wire when the key is on to excite the generator. Also after all the above try and polarize the generator.

 

Thanks ARCTIC YBLOCK!!!If it wasn't for you my 56 F600 would not sound and run as good!!!I wonder if the generator is charging or not.I will see in a.m.

 

It won't hurt ta pull a neg cable of the batt. While she is at a fast indel. If it dies than it ain't working,
