ez wiring questions
I have 4 wires I am not sure abouts. They are the front section
Red wire says solenoid power: I think this hooks up to solenoid post with positive cable is that correct?
red wire says alt power" Alternoator power? I have a generator still where would this go or do I not need it?
Purple wire says ign switch start where does this go?
white wire says alt excitor where does this go?
I am going to wire the inside tomorrow I hope.
I had a terrible tragedy today, my dad commited suicide. I have to keep myself busy. I dont know what to think..please pray for god mercy for him.
Thanks Kevin
This truck will now be finished in my dads memory!

Kevin, there's no words but just know that other guys are praying for you, your family, and your dad. Keeping busy and confiding in friends are the best ways I've ever found to deal with tragedy like this. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

My father-in-law had lung cancer a few years ago and did the same . My family and church will pray for you and your family. You need to talk with some family members or preacher. This is a tough time as both my father and mother have passed, I know about the lost feelings. chuck

I am so very sorry to hear about your dad, Kevin. I don't even know what to say. I've lost 2 friends in the last couple of years to suicide, one of them a very close one. It's bewildering, and impossible to make any sense of. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we will be praying for you and all of your family.
As far as the wiring, I'm no help with the generator, mine's got an alternator. I'll do some looking and see if I can help sort it out for you, though.
I'm pretty certain about the other two, though. The red solenoid wire powers the whole EZ21 and does go to the battery side post of your solenoid. Don't forget to run it from the fusebox through the ammeter and THEN out the firewall (if you're configured that way). Also put that fusible link in the package on the solenoid end to get it all protected from frying.
The purple ign switch start wire goes to the small "S" post on your solenoid. It's the one that goes live when you hit the starter button and energizes the solenoid to the starter.

Sorry, I can't quite figure out the generator vs. alternator issue, but here's a guess. I think the red Alt Power wire goes to the B (or battery) terminal of the voltage regulator. I don't think the White excitor wire is used as the generator has permanent magnets in it. The voltage regulator just wires up to the generator F to F, A to A, ground to ground. Wish I had a good schematic of the EZ, I don't, so I'm making an educated guess from the Ford schematic. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along soon.
I'm also pretty certain that the ign. goes to the S terminal, not the I. The I is not critical, but is the 12V output to the coil that short-circuits past the resistor during cranking. Since yours is internally resisted not sure how that works unless there's an "unresisted" terminal on the coil. The remainder of the time (not cranking) it's 6V through the resistor to prolong the life of the points. I added the jumper from the I post to the Bat. side of the coil bypassing the ballast resistor.

There is a pink wire says coil positive where does it go?
Thanks for your thoughs, he was so much help to me last week on my truck. He was an alcoholic and I am sure he could not stand being that way anymore.

Kevin I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words alone can't heal the pain you are feeling. Time will help but you will always miss him. It is good that you did have a few last weeks together with him helping you with the truck. My and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kevin,
Very sorry to hear about your loss. There is nothing I can say that will take away the pain but my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
I'm glad you had some good times recently with getting the truck together.

Kevin, we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I cannot put into words what I felt like when my Dad passed away, but I can say thay it's been 5 long years and I still miss him. I'm glad you got to work together the last few weeks and spend some quality time. Keep your head up and remember we are all thinking of you.

Kevin, I am sure that none of us can truly feel your pain. Our thoughts at this time are with you and your family.
I have enjoyed reading your posts but this one was a very hard one to read. Your can do attitude and enthusiasm is somewhere between energizing and exhausting. The fact that your Dad helped you with the truck is a huge plus. Finish the truck and hang onto it and the memories that you had working together on it.
