You have a problem, and you haven't read my earlier post. The BLUE field wire is switched 12V from the key "run" circuit. It is NOT supplied by the VR. This run circuit, often dark blue, comes through the bulkhead, and depending on year, feeds power to the ignition system (high...

Oh, man. You are lucky you got an honest AC outfit. Many in the "big city" and even around here would have just gone ahead and replaced the coil!!!

I hope you are talking about the BUSHING in the crank converter recess which makes up the diametrical difference between later cranks, and the smaller / early converter snout. That, actually, should not affect the starter

Decades ago, had a land line, and the previous home owner had strung wire for a couple of extensions. The phone got noisy and would sometimes not ring, except just buzz/ vibrate a little bit. That was years before I had a "megger" (high voltage leak tester) and I had finally stripped...

Like I said, LOLOL, "when you find it, you will be amazed." Tuck that away, tho, some of that moisture/ chemical, etc, could have gotten down inside.

8V? What does it measure running? that could be the problem, very low voltage, may not be enough to "key" the VR into operation. I've no idea what that threshold might be.

Don't discount that it might simply be the CONNECTOR at the VR

I made one up from a couple of Jeep boxes, don't remember the application, but they were modular. That is, with some work, you can interchange relays and sections with fuses to get closer to what you want. There were a number of things I had to diddle with, because of the rather...

I was thinking the motor wires were undersized. No, the only new wire you would have had to run, for a rear mount relay setup, was the new larger 12V supply. You would have used the existing wires right from the switches to trigger the relays.

Yeh. I was speaking more that the wires might be undersized. In that case you are good. It's amazing that "back then" things were so badly done, for some circuits , and nowadays, auto electrics are almost OVERdone!! LOL

Actually you are right and I've said this. What I SHOULD have said is, "it's not needed for operation."

No, I was wondering if a guy could dig it out of there. Holley EFI modules use potting that looks like JB weld!!!!!!

So you are still using the harness wires that ran from the switches to the motors? How large is that wire? Maybe you should have considered (reversible) disconnecting the original harness wires and running larger motor wires from the relays to the motors. Relays are not just to save...

Also I doubt very much that ohms checks on an ECU box are very definitive.

If you didn't **** can it I would love to dig into that thing
