So Matchbox burned up wires at last years last race...got it all sorted out. This year I stick in a battery and smoke more.. It will start and everything works but no charging. I removed the alternator and checked it out...good charge.
It MUST be a fusible link? I know that 4 wires go forward from the rear of the car into a rubber roughly V shaped rubber thingy (a bit smaller than a 25 cent coin) and 2 red wires come out. Depending on how you hold it, L to R the wires are: Two greyish, then a red, then a orange. I know that the inner greyish one was a fusible link to the interior because it was replaced late in the 1980s....is one of the others relating to the charging issue? Do the 2 greyish wires go to the red wire exiting the rubber thingy and the other 2 going in come out to the other red wire exiting? Regular grocery items are what you may possible spot on the Food Lion Ad.
BTW, anyone sell wiring harnesses for these? Under hood is all I need.
Brad P is coming over to help when he can, but it would be nice to have things worked out ahead of time. I will be racing the Cheap Skate today and so far looks like a 90% chance of rain.
Thanks all.
