The old dry wire broke on my solenoid. What does it vcontrol, and Shopping for one, what woukd it be called
Tags:
I am assuming starter solenoid? If starter solenoid which wire? Small Yellow to R terminal or Blue to S terminal, or larger black wire?
I hate to sound like a broken record but this is why it is extremely difficult to answer your questions and often I will not even attempt to answer and to be honest others probably feel the same way. In terms of my 4 C's of writing - Clear, Concise, Complete, Correct, this one fails on 3 out of 4 ... I will say it is concise! LOL OK. Here is the info:
Below is info straight from our Help Page under "Cranking ... ". I have underlined the info on the yellow and blue wire. The large gauge black wire is the 12 volt starter motor feed from the battery.
Starting - Cranking
With ignition switch turned to far right cranking position, the purple wire feeds the 12 volts to the blue wire at the neutral safety switch which feeds the starter solenoid switch. The yellow wire from solenoid switch in turn provides a full 12 volts back to the ignition coil for cranking. When you release the switch and have the switch in "run" position, the voltage to the coil is reduced to 8 1/2 to 10 1/2 volts since current is then provided through the brown resister wire, which gets it's current at the pink ignition wire under the dash.
If the wire or connector is just broken why not splice it at the break, or splice in a new section of wire, or just add a new connector? Again.. trying to read between the lines! :-)
Tony confirmed for me its tge condenser that sits on coil. , not the starter solenoid.
You are correct by giving me the name, i just assumed it was a solenoid
Yes, i was referring to thr small one that sits on top of coil in that bracket, i thoight it was a solenoid, but thats why i originally asked if i were to shop for that part, what would be the correct term .. you cleared that up w condenser
OK.. weeding thru the replies... who took my machete?!.... The condensor on the ignition coil bracket is a noise suppressor. See the note on page 12-64 in your shop manual. It has nothing to do with points or preventing points from burning up. Cars that still have points and have not been converted to electronic igntion, have a condensor inside the distributor cap. With resistor plugs and wires, these ignition coil condensers (capacitors actually) are really not needed, but I like to keep one on my car to keep the original look. I have new ones for $10 plus s/h but you should be able to pick one up at any auto parts store. (AutoZone part # is URS1502) For now it is going to have zero effect of your engine performance so pick one up the next time you are at an auto parts store.
Thanks to all for the answers. Learning something new everyday on these cars

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
