Hey guys, Aw man first of all lemme say I wouldn't have been able to pull this off without the help of this group. Thank you so much for all the information you've provided me with already.
Okay, Friday I installed new wires, plugs, ignition module, coil, cap and rotor.
Saturday I installed the new Edelbrock 1406 Carb with Elec. Choke.
Today I took 'er in and my friend helped time it up - 10 degrees advanced because she sounds cam'ed. That motor spins up SO fast now - just tap the throttle and BRAAAAA!!!! Holy crap...
But we are TOTALLY stumped on where in the hell to run the positive, 12V wire for the electric choke. We found a TON of wiring connections that aren't safely or properly run (damn the guy who "rewired" this thing.) But we can't figure out where to run a wire for 12 volts that will only supply 12 volts PREFERABLY when the vehicle is RUNNING ONLY. Now if nothing else I'll take a 12V in the RUN mode that'll have power even when the engine isn't actually running - I'd just prefer not to wire it to an ACCessory circuit.
Now, I did find wiring diagrams for it just a minute ago (thanks again Cuda-Challenger.com) and I actually see where there is a lead to an "electronic choke control" from the Fielding terminal on the alternator. Now, we checked the voltage for that very lead and we were only getting 10 Volts. Now, it's possible my alternator isn't quite up to snuff - that or the regulator, but I need to find out for sure were the hell to run this thing so I don't go screwin' up all the new parts I just put in this thing - esPECIALLY that carburetor. So if anyone can give me some quick tips before I take the car back in tomorrow I'd appreciate it.
Thanks so much again.
Jeff
