ez wire

yeh things are looking up ihave laid it out the exciter alt wire goes to the i wire well i cant tell witch is the i wire do u guys have any info on connector kits for this project iam ready almost to start thamk u very much jeepers out there george

 

For the OP. You state you are running a 225 V6 not the 4 banger. What starter are you using? Prestolite or Delco. If delco then you will have an R terminal on the solenoid that is mounted on the starter that will have a wire going from the R term to the Pos term on the coil. If you are running the Prestolite, it won't have this term. Your wiring connections will be different. If your coil has been changed to an internal resistor type, then you won't use a ballast resistor.

 

i still have the same coil before it did the restore it all was the same as now.As far as the starter i dont know i believe its a prestolite .thank u i need all the help i can get

 

The delco starter has a smooth barrel with a solenoid about 5 inches long. A prestolite will have a raised band wrapping around the barrel and the solenoid will be much smaller. The coil should have it written on the case stating (use with external resistor) which is the ballast, otherwise it should say (internal resistor only) or some such. And pictures are very useful here.

 

i tried loading pics but cant do u need photobucket???

 

The main reason I ask about the coil and ballast is, it may not have the correct components to start with. I know you want it to be reliable or you would not be re-wiring it in the first place. Also lets not worry about the Alternator/Regulator wiring until you decide what system you are going with example, Motorola or Delco 10SI or Delco 12SI.

 

well walt iam going with the stock mororola with the ballist resostor.I started on head lights right pass side ez wire gives u a plug to go into the light with 3wires coming of the stock wires go to the block ?do i connect the wires from the ez but what about the wires that go to the block ?not fun i have fooled with wiring before thanx for ur help i know ill get thru lol thanx all the help is app george

 

The sealed beam light has three spade lugs on it. If you remove the light you can remove the old plug and run some sand paper on them to clean them and install the ez wire plug.

 

where do the new wires run to from ezwire? the old ones go to a 3 connectio block on the left front fender

 

Not all e-z wire kits are the same. Different connectors for different applications. I cannot tell what you have without pictures. Yes the original wiring harness did connect to a 3 lug block on the drivers fender to make the connections for your head-lights/park-lights and T-sig. Does your wire kit indicate that you are to connect to this original block? Otherwise it will have a three wire plug that will plug straight onto the back of the sealed beam in place of your old one. If you are not sure just remove the headlight chrome ring (one screw) and lift off ring. The headlight will fall out so hold onto it. Look at the plug on the back of the light and see if your new loom has two of these plugs, one for each headlight.

 

On the EZ wire you can do it either way. I personally hooked it up to the block. It makes it easier for certain things down the road.

Nope they are all the same other than the number of circuits. Ez-wire is a universal hot rotrod kit, not for a specific application. They offer 4 kits only, the only difference is the mini fuses or the number of circuits.

 

yes i took out the head light 3 prong from ezwire conn right into it the old one came out and connected to the 3 poast block on the left fender is that block nessary with the ez wire is it just a ground block or can i just wire the new connector to the low beam high beam ??? i will try to set up photobucket thank you for the help

 

What I meant by diff applications was four-way flashers, cigar lighter. hood light etc. I lost track of the 12 circuit statement. Sorry. But for you, if your headlight wiring and park/turn wires are in great condition then you may not need to replace them. (optional) The connection block on the fender does not go to ground. They are simply 3 separate insulated studs for tie points. Your instructions and diagram should show these numbered wires going to the dimmer switch from the headlights.

 

I'd reuse the junction block and make the headlight connections there.
As McRuff mentions, just makes life easier......like when you find out that the headlights are not wired the same...high and low beams that is.....switch the wires on the junction block, rather than pulling the headlight out and re-doing the connection at the bulb.

 

thank u i will hook the new wires to the junction block and keep the headlight wires the same thank u goys george

 

I dont know what id do if it wasnt for this great site ez wire is not the easyest place to get to talk to thell be more questions as u guys help.Iam getting everything straight in my head before i start were it all comes together in my head thank u all george wa state .

 

Talked to ez wire and the said i could use their plugs for hedlights and by pass the block he said jeep ran a lot of unnessary wires ez wire cleans it out good to know as soon as my connector kit comes from jegs ill do the front lights and start the next thing in line starting to feel better about the job ahead

 

wiring going good turn running and headlights done work too not bad when u understand and ask questions to understand

 

Glad to hear your making good progress. Yep, electricity is just about like plumbing water.
