Re: Smoking Ignition Wires….Exciting stuff!

I followed the purple wire, it runs to the stud on the side of the of the starter stomp switch. Red wire off resistor runs to lower right leg of the HEI module. 1 green wire runs to ignition switch and the other runs to the positive post on the coil.

Now the zinger….. the pink wire off the resistor. It has continuity with the body! I disconnected it from everything but the segment to the Tell-Tale Lamp (where it’s color changes to brown) and the ARM terminal on the voltage regulator. Original generator was rebuilt along with the motor and new voltage regulator installed. I think this is part of the problem. There should be no continuity between the ARM terminal and the body right? It got dark so I had to punt further investigation to tomorrow morning.
