Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
Still no spark
High tension wire badly crystallized and fractured Replaced No spark New Development Noticed badly frayed wires connected to battery junction (-) wire under steering box in engine compartment. One wire comes from inside, Maybe ignition switch?) and another one to lights May have eventually shorted as car was running? I need some help in a picture of this connection under steering box. I need to replace these exposed wires, but need to know what they are? Any help will be appreciated. |

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
The wires under the sterering box are for your lights and horn.
There is a single glass fuse on the backside of the dash, drivers side. Check it. It it is broke the engine will crank but no spark. Your problem is more then likley extremly simple. If the fuse is good, get a test light and with the ignition "on", touch the point plate inside the distributor. If it lights up that tells you there is power to the distributor (eliminating the electrical on the switch inside the car) If it does not light up, trace back and see where the test light lights up, and you will find your problem.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
Unless it has been modified, the fuse is for the lighting circuit only. The ignition wiring was not routed through the fuse originally.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
Frank, follow the "Y" wire. The starter switch is fed from the battery, the yellow "Y" wire goes from the starter switch to the ammeter. Then the "YB" wire goes to the ignition switch. The ignition is not fed through the fuse.
All the lights are fed from the "YB" wire from the other side of the fuse. The diagram is very simple, it should be easy to follow. I find it best to just concentrate on one wire or circuit at a time. Mart. |

Mart,
Well said (follow one wire at a time). |

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
As stated above, the voltage coming from the battery hits one side of the fuse block. The other side of the fuse block is the light circuit.

Could the generator cutoff be shorted resulting in a blown fuse? |

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
Post a picture of your fuse block. Has any of the wiring been changed or moved around since you have been troubleshooting this problem?

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
If you have frayed wires, they are the #1 suspect in determining why you are blowing fuses. Nearly every metal part on your car acts as a ground and any bare wire in the lighting system touching a nearby metal part will blow the fuse. At least you know that the fuse-blowing problem is confined to the lighting electrical circuit and not caused elsewhere in the electrical system.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart
Do you know how to use a volt ohms meter and a test light. They will really help.
