    Help with wiring engine run stand!!!!! I think I made it easy to help me?
    « on: May 16, 2012 - 10:03:01 PM »
    Built a modular engine run stand to break in motors and was hoping to get some thoughts on wiring it.  I want to run the alternator and a fuss buss.  Could someone mark up the photo below to help me wire this thing?   :1zhelp:

    I think it looks great !! Nice stand. Are you gonna hook up the fan or electric fans like AARON did  ?

    Yep, the electric fan is in place but you can't see it in the photo. 

    I know with the pertronix I don't need a resistor, but do I need to use an Ammeter with this set up?

    Yes interesting? with the petronix you do not need the resistor so it changes the diagrams i have seen recently.

    I think this is correct (some guys from Moparts have given me some tips)?  Neil what do you think?

    Looks really nice. If you want to put an Ammeter inline you don't need a resister but you need a shunt.

    I might have something you want, I basically made a guage box for testing which has a 1-15 Volt guage and a Amp guage that goes up to 100A. Could take a pic of it if you want, I could let go of it real cheap as I don't use it anymore.

    All you have to do is wire it in where you want, my guess is somewhere around the voltage reg.

    Looks like it would work , just have to make sure you have 12v feed at the coil for the pertronics

    Thanks for the help guys. I wired it just like the last diagram and it worked perfectly. 2 gallons of gas lasted about as long as the battery and I got about 25 minutes of 2,000 rpm break in.

    I hope it is OK , I removed a couple of the diagrams that were wrong .
    It looks like the ign switch eliminates the need for the relay , I think you could just run a wire from the large start terminal on the ign switch directly to the solinoid wire on the starter
     OK I was wondering about the dist wiring until I went back to the first diagram with the Pertronics dist shown .
    Make Sure the Voltage Reg is grounded as well or the charging system will not work .
     The diagram is so large it is hard to see more than 1/4 of it at a time LOL
