    Thanks Angel.

    Someone told me that the wires going to the soleniod have to cross in front of the firewall, then down the pass apron to the soleniod.

     

    I guess they were wrong. Wow! I was contemplating a new harness $$$$

    If you look at my pictures of the soleniod, I'm trying to figure what wire feeds the Voltage reg. Apparently, the previous owner took it out and may of did a 1 wire 2G alt setup. But who know's??

    You can also see in my pic the wires below the soleniod has one loose wire. I don't know what thats for either. How about you?

     

    If anything let me know where you think the volt reg wire is.

     

    I appreciate your help!

    Just found out how bad my engine wire harness is. My bay does not have wires coming from the fire to the alt. solenoid, someone rerouted the wires and wrapped together in one stran. Please check the pics below.

     

    If your noticing something I didn't catch please take the time to tell me.

     

    I'm needing a picture of the engine side wire harness showing the firewall, right and left aprons and radiator support.

     

    Or any picture that can help.

     

    Thanks to all!!!!

    danno,

    The wires going to the solenoid start from the main harness/firewall, run along the left apron and up to the lights, it then crosses over to the right light then back to the soleniod.

     

    I forget, but I think the green and yelllow wires hanging down near the throttle are for the Tach.

     

    Also, did you notice the 1 1/2" stripped wire on the top of the main harness bundle , coming out of the firewall. Whats that?

    Here is a picture of the main harness. If you look close at the top row 3rd wire over to the left, it is cut off. Would anyone know what it went to.

    Here is a picture taken near the throttle cable.

    Can someone identify those wires. The green and yellow are open at the end. Could one be for the tach?

    69gmachine,

    Thank you for the reply! Would you happen to have a copy of the engine bay wire diagram?

     

    This will be a cruiser vehicle, not many gadgets, so I think going stock will be fine. At the monment there aren't many wires in the engine bay. The vehicle is at another location, so it'll be a few days untill I can get over there. I'll take a few pics to keep my memory fresh.

     

    I'll check the Ford shop manual to see what your talking about.

     

    I'll get back to this post after I get some pics.

     

    Thanks!

    RacerX,

    Thank for the reply. Yes, in the engine compartment I might need to start from scratch, but all of the other wiring is in place.

    As for the 289. It's a 68, good head, cam etc.. That's what came with the deal, I'll be using it while I get things together. Can't afford anything else at the time. I still need to do bodywork, paint, wheels and interior.

     

    I did pick up a Chiltons and I just got from ebay Ford Shop Manuals 1,2 & 3. If you happen to have a copy of either, drop me a note telling what page of interest.

     

    Electrical wiring is a little foreign to me, always has been.

     

    If I could somehow get pointed in the right direction, I can then pick up the pieces.

     

    That other tech article. If you find it, please drop it off.

    Thanks so much. John

    Unfortunately the alt was not included.

    Were does the volt reg wires run. From the fire wall beneath the master cyl or do they come from somewhere else???????

     

    Maybe with someones help, I can trace the beginning of that wire and cap it off. Do I need that branch to go to the solenoid?????

     

     

    It's been a while, but the pwr from the key goes to the soleniod then from there to the coil, then to the distrib ??????? Also form the solenoid wire goes to the alt and starter.

     

    The 1 plug alt setup wires comes form the solenoid ?????

    If anyone was going to convert to an internal alt from external, how would they go about doing it. I ask this, because if I can't follow what the previous PO did (a hack job) then maybe I can redue his if any mistakes and know that the job is right.

     

    Does the voltage reg have anything to do with the Mallory Elecrtronic distributor.

     

    Sould I go back to external. What are the benifits if any on either setup?

    I understand that, but how do I determine that the PO did that.

    What wire am I looking for.

    The solenoid is still hanging by 1 bolt on the Pass apron, with wires hanging from it, next to what I believe is a gutter gaurd.(4" black strip of plastic)

     

    Do you have any pictures instead of diagrams (they work best for me).

    I bought my 69 with the drivetrain out and engine wires in a box.

    The PO had a Autolite Electronic Dist, MSD 6 AL & an Accel Super Coil in the wire box. I'm have the 289 worked on right now and would like to get the charging system ready.

     

    I can't find the Volt reg. Isn't it suppose to be bolted to the left apron?

    Wasn't it needed to run the ignition or did the PO disregard it and bypass it? If I need it, how to wire it.

     

    A friend gave me a Mallory electronic dist. Does anyone know how to install this? Do I still use the Accel & MSD or just a coil (Accel).

    DO I STILL NEED A VOLTAGR REG? If so, how to wire that.

     

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I just purchased a 69 and the 289 motor was out along with the cluth linkage. I was given a few boxes of parts, now I have to put the linkage together and need a diagram as well as photos to show exactly what I need. I believe that I'm missing some of the smaller parts, rods etc..

    The Chilton manual is very vauge.

    Can someone please send me pictures and a diagram showing all of the parts to make this set up.

    Thank You!
