Hey yall. Where do you hook your holley choke wire to? I'm getting the generator light on. Not too sure if it's cus where we hooked the holley choke up to or what? Also put the battery cable ground in a different spot.
That is probably why the GEN light is on. The reason I suggest the wiper motor is it is powered when the key is on and also protected by a fuse. The switch for the wiper motor supplies grounds for the different speed.
Im using oil-pressure switch, which closes the circuit when engine is running, and opens when shut down. Wired to alternators "power outlet" connection, its hot all the time ( on my car) between bat and alt.
I know some ppl go straight to coil positive. And have had no issues....holley tells you not to do this. But I have used the coil positive as the turn on signal to control a relay. The relay powered the choke and electric fuel pump.
That's the only thing you can do with the coil positive circuit.. use it as a signal voltage. That, and the starter purple are also the only circuits that stay hot in crank... Which is important to know when doing EFI.. Quick story... Back in the late 80's, when I first teamed up with Mike Bucy drag racing the Original "Stage" car, we were having a problem with high rpm misfire.. popping and banging all the way down the track. We went thru the usual suspects in the ignition, and we were running a Stinger setup back then.. suspected that, wired around it, but still was doing it. Then on one pass, I forgot to turn the electric fans on.. And it ran strong and clean all the way to the finish line. Ran a 12:20, which was the fastest we had been at the time. But why?... Mike goes and takes the next pass, flips the fans on, and it misses and bangs all the way down again. Frustrating.. I was not aware I had not turned the fans on.. It was a hot day, and it got so bad that day, it would miss in neutral in the pits... Eventually I found the low coil voltage, after we unhooked the stinger setup and were running on a points distrib.. Traced the coil feed circuit back to the fusebox.. everything was fine.. Got under the dash, and I noticed a big fat wire with a female spade on it, plugged into the front of the fusebox, next to the letters ING... I asked Mike what that wire was.. he said it was the hot feed to the electric fans.. sure enough, I revved it up until it missed in the pits, and reached over and turned the fan off... and it sped up and ran on all 8... Problem located. Pulled that wire off the ING terminal, plugged it into the ACC male spade right below it in the fusebox. Problem fixed. I was always under the impression that the ING next to that terminal was meant to signal it as having 12V with the key on.. but that is actually the end of the coil 12V feed circuit. Don't ever put any high amp draw on that terminal in the fusebox, or you will drop the coil primary voltage, and with it the secondary output spark energy. JW
