H-25—ALTERNATOR OUTPUT
TEST
If
voltage at auxiliary terminal rises to 15 or 16
volts now, when it did not with voltage regulator
connected, then defect is in regulator and it should
be replaced. If voltage
does
not rise at auxiliary

terminal,
defect is in alternator stator or rectifier diodes, if field circuit checked out properly. For
defects
in stator or diodes, remove alternator from vehicle.

If
rated current output is obtained with at least 13
volts but less than 15 volts at the output terminal,
the alternator is functioning properly.

Caution:
Do not exceed rated current output of
alternator
by increasing load on alternator.

If
rated
current
output cannot be obtained, proceed

with
the
tests
and checks given in the following
paragraphs
and isolate the cause.
Note: The system is designed to produce slightly
more output at low operating temperatures and less
at higher temperatures to accommodate the
varying
demands of electrical power normally consumed at

these
temperatures.

H-71.
Regulator Test

The
regulator should be checked with an alternator
that is functioning properly. If the alternator is questionable, perform the Alternator Output Test
(Par
H-70) which excludes the regulator from the

charging
system and, therefore,
tests
the condition
of the alternator alone. 196

TESTS

When
the various
tests
given in
Par.
H-69 through
H-76 have determined a fault within the alternator itself, the alternator should be removed from the vehicle and the following
tests
given in
sequence

to isolate the trouble to a particular
component

of the alternator.
Note
that certain
tests
can be
performed after the alternator is removed and
before
it is disassembled.

H-79.
Rotor Tests
—
Bench

This
test
checks the condition of the rotor (field coil) for
open
or shorted field winding, excessively

worn
or sticky brushes, and
open
connections. It should be performed with the brush assembly in­
stalled in the alternator.

a.
The field coil is checked for a short circuit
by connecting a fully charged battery and an ammeter in series with the two slip rings.

A
rheostat is placed in series in the
circuit
to protect
the instruments and
components
of the alternator. Set rheostat to maximum resistance (40 ohms)

before
making connections.

b.
Slowly reduce resistance of rheostat to zero.

Then
take reading on ammeter. With full battery
voltage
applied to the field coil, the field current
of the 35-amp. alternator should be 1.7 to 2.3 amp.

Note:
The field current of the 40 and 55 amp.
alternator should be 1.8 to 2.4 amps with full battery
voltage
applied to the field coil.
c.
Turn
rotor by hand, noting reading. Rotating
rotor
will
indicate if brushes are making
good
elec­

trical
contact. A slight fluctuation of reading (0.2

amp.)
is to be expected.
If
field current is not within limits, inspect brushes

and
slip rings for
excessive
dirt, sticky, or broken
brushes, and bad connections.
Check
brush as­ sembly for short and continuity (Par. H-75). Make
same
test
to slip rings. Reinstall repaired or known
good
brush assembly and repeat
test.
If
the field current is
above
the maximum value
specified, it indicates that the field coil is either
shorted to rotor or field coil has shorted windings.
If
the field current is zero, it indicates that the field

coil
or coil-to-slip ring connection is open. If the field
current
is considerably
less
than the value
specified, it indicates a poor coil-to-slip ring con­ nection or poor brush-to-slip ring connection.

d.
To check continuity of the rotor, disconnect the
battery and connect an ohmmeter directly across
the field. Resistance
between
field terminal and ground terminal should be approximately 6 ohms.
If
resistance is high, field coil is shorted.

e.
If rotor is found to be
defective
in
above
tests,
repeat the
above
tests
when the rotor is removed

from
the alternator by connecting the
test
circuit
to rotor slip rings to ascertain findings.
Field
current

will
be approximately 0.2 amp. higher than the
maximum
value because of the normal brush-to-

slip-ring
contact resistance that reduces field
current
slightly. If the rotor is found to be de­
fective, it should be replaced.

Ignition
Switch

The
ignition switch serves both to energize the
ignition system and
engage
the starter switch.
The
ignition switch has four positions: (1) AC­

CESSORY,
(2)
LOCK,
(3) ON, and (4)
START. The
key must be in the switch to turn it to any position other than
LOCK,
and the key can be
removed only in the
LOCK
position.
In "ACC",
a connection is made from the battery

terminal
to the accessory terminal of the switch to
allow accessories such as the radio, blower and/or
windshield wiper to be operated with the ignition, fuel
gauge
and indicator light circuits off.
In "LOCK",
no accessory supplied through the
ignition switch can be operated. Also, the ballast
resistor (V-6
engine
only) circuit to the ignition
coil
(IGN) is grounded.
In
"ON", a connection is made from the battery

terminal
to the accessory terminal so that all
ignition switch supplied accessories can be operated. Also the battery is connected to the ballast resistor
(V-6
engine
only) leading to the ignition coil

(IGN).
From
this same terminal, a lead
into
the
instrument cluster energizes the fuel
gauge
and
indicator lights.
In "START",
all ignition switch supplied acces­
sories are temporarily disconnected. A connection is made to the starter solenoid lead. The charge

and
oil indicator lamps
will
light until the
engine
is started.

brush.
It is important that the brush spring
tension be kept within the limits specified at the end of this section. If the tension is too low, there

will
be a loss of efficiency from poor brush contact.
Too
great a tension
will
cause excessive brush and
commutator wear. To change the tension, twist the

spring
at the holder with long-nosed pliers,

c.
Worn
brushes should be replaced. Brushes that
are
soldered to the field coil should be unsoldered

and
the
loop
in the field coil lead should be opened.
Insert
the new brush pigtail to its
full
depth in the
loop. The new brush lead should be tightly clinched

in
the terminal and then soldered to make a strong, low-resistance connection.

H-99.
Commutator

Check
the commutator for wear and discoloration.
If
the commutator is rough or worn the armature should be removed and the commutator turned
down in a lathe. A discolored commutator should
be cleaned with carbon tetrachloride. Never use
emery cloth.

H-100.
Armature

Visually
inspect the armature for mechanical
defects
before checking for shorted or grounded
coils. Use a set of
test
probes for testing armature

circuits.
To
test
the armatures for grounds, touch
one point of the
test
probes to a commutator seg­
ment and touch the other point to the core or shaft. Do not touch the points to the bearing surface or
to the brush surface as the arc formed
will
burn

the smooth finish. If the lamp lights, the coil con­ nected to the commutator segment is grounded.
To
test
for shorted armature coils, a growler as
shown-in Fig. H-42 is necessary. The armature is placed against the core and a steel strip is held
on the armature. The growler is then energized 204

Starting Motor Reassembly

Refer
to Fig. H-40 and H-41.

a.
When assembling absorbent bronze bearing
found in the end plate and drive end frame, always
use the proper arbor
designed
to
give
the proper
bearing fit. Soak the bearings in oil
before
assem­
bling in the bearing bore. Give the bearing
seats

a
light coating of oil.

Note:
At assembly, the outer pinion housing bear­
ing must be flush with the bearing bore on the inside of the housing; the intermediate bearing
must be flush with the bearing bore on the side
toward the armature.

b.
Brushes should be correctly installed and con­
nected as outlined in Par. H-98 in order to be sure
of proper starting motor efficiency.

f.
On Prestolite V6 starting motors, check pinion position by measuring from the centerline of the
pinion housing mounting bolt
holes
to the outside

edge
of the pinion.
Correct
measurement with the
Bendix
drive retracted is [19,05 mm.] to
%"
[22,23 mm.]; with drive extended, 1%"

[34,93
mm.] to 1^" [38,10]. Adjust by installing

thrust
washers just inside the commutator end
head or intermediate bearing as required. The
Bendix
drive retaining pin must not project
beyond the outside diameter of the pinion
sleeve.

H-104.
Bench Test

The
motor should first be checked to see that the
free running
voltage
and current are within specifi­ cations. To
test,
connect the motor to a battery,
ammeter and voltmeter. If the current is too high
check
the bearing alignment and end play to make

sure
there is no binding or interference. Using a

spring
scale and torque arm check the stall torque to see that the motor is producing its rated
crank­

ing power. The stall torque
will
be product of the

spring
scale reading and the length of the arm

in
feet.
If the torque is not up to specifications

check
the seating of the brushes on the commutator
and
the internal connection of the motor for high
resistance. The Bendix
Folo-Thru-Drive
should be checked for correct operation. The Bendix pinion
should be checked to see that it shifts when the motor is operated under no load.

H-105.
Bendix Folo-Thru Drive (Prestolite)
The
Bendix
Folo-Thru
Drive is designed to over­

come
premature demeshing of the drive pinion
from
the flywheel ring gear until a predetermined

engine
speed is reached. See Fig. H-43. No repairs or adjustments are possible on this

drive
and a
complete
new unit must be installed

if
trouble develops.

H-106.
Lubrication
of
Folo-Thru Drive
A
periodic cleaning and relubrication of the drive is advisable, the frequency of which
will
depend on
the type of service to which the vehicle is sub­
jected and the locale of operation.

a.
Remove the starting motor from the
engine
and take off the outboard housing. The pinion and

barrel
assembly
will
be in the demeshed position
on the screwshaft. Do not
move
it forward
until
after
that portion of the armature shaft ahead
of the pinion has been cleaned. If accidentally ro­
tated to the outer end of the screwshaft it
will

lock
in that position and cannot be forced back.

b.
Do not disassemble the drive for any reason.

c.
Do not dip or wash the drive in any cleaning solution.

d.
Do not remove the drive from the armature
shaft. Remove
excess
oil, grease or foreign matter
from
the armature shaft by wiping it with a clean cloth.

e.
Now rotate the pinion and
barrel

STARTING MOTOR
—
DELCO
DAUNTLESS
V-6
ENGINE

Refer
to Fig. H-45.

The
starting motor used on the Dauntless V-6 en­

gine
has an integral solenoid switch and enclosed
shift lever which first shifts the overrunning clutch
pinion into
engagement
with the ring gear on the
flywheel of the
engine
and then
closes
the electrical
circuit
to cause
engine
cranking. When the
engine

starts,
the overrunning clutch
disengages
to pre­ vent transfer of
engine
speed to the starting motor.

Note:
Should a service replacement starter motor
be required the factory recommends replacement

with
original equipment parts; however, should the need arise an existing starter motor (Delco or
Prestolite) could be replaced with the current
Delco-Remy
starter, model 1108375, with the
following modifications to the wiring harness. If
the existing starter motor wiring harness
does
not
provide a 12 ga. purple conduit wire, (connects the ignition switch to the starter motor) then a 12 ga.

purple
conduit wire 70 inches long, must be in­

stalled.
Should the existing starter motor wiring
harness
contain a 16 ga. light blue conduit wire, (connects the ignition switch and starter motor)
bend this wire back and tape out of the way.

Starting Motor Disassembly
a.
Before removing the starting motor from the
engine, disconnect leads and cover battery lead

terminal
with piece of
hose
or tape to prevent
short circuiting.
Note
locations of wiring connec­
tions to assure proper reconnection. Remove the cap screw that secures the starting motor to the
angle bracket on the side of the engine. Remove
the two cap screws that secure the drive end of
the starting motor to the cylinder block; remove
the starting motor.

b.
Remove terminal nut and disconnect field lead,

which
passes through grommet at top of motor,
from
motor terminal of solenoid. Remove two
thru

bolts
from motor. Remove commutator end frame

and
field frame assembly from solenoid and drive assembly.
e.
Pull
out pivot pins of brush holders and remove each of two brush holder and spring assemblies

from
field housing. Remove screws which attach
brushes and leads to holders.

d.
Remove armature and drive assembly from
drive
housing. Remove thrust collar from pinion
end of armature shaft. Remove leather thrust

washer
from
opposite
end of shaft.
e. To separate drive assembly from
armature,
place

a
metal cylinder of proper size (J^" [12,7 mm.]
pipe coupling is satisfactory) over end of armature
shaft to bear against the pinion
stop
retainer. Tap
retainer
toward armature to
expose
snap ring as
shown in
Fig.
H-47. Remove snap ring from
groove
in
shaft; slide retainer and pinion drive assembly

from
shaft. Remove assist spring from shaft,

f.
Remove two screws holding solenoid switch to
drive
housing remove switch. Remove small nut

and
insulating washer from the solenoid S terminal.
Remove nut and insulating washer from the
sole­

noid battery (large) terminal. Remove two screws that attach switch cover to solenoid and remove cover for inspection of switch parts. Remove shift
lever fulcrum bolt and remove shift lever, plunger,

and

Cleaning and
Inspection

a.
Wipe all parts clean with clean cloths. The
arma­
ture,
field coils, and drive assembly must not be
cleaned by any degreasing or high temperature
method.
This
might damage insulation so that a
short
circuit
or ground would subsequently develop.
It
would also remove lubricant originally packed

in
the overrunning clutch so that clutch would

soon
be ruined.

b.
Carefully
inspect all parts visually for wear or
damage. Make necessary repairs or replace unserv­
iceable parts. Any soldering must be
done
with

rosin
flux.

Note:
Never use acid flux when solding any elec­

trical
connections and never use emery cloth to
clean
armature
commutator or other
electrical
units. 208

Brushes

Check
brush length. If brushes are worn to one-

half
their original length, replace them. Also check
for
cracks,
chips, damaged mounting holes, oil

saturation,
or other damage; replace brushes.

H-112.
Commutator

Check
the commutator for wear and discoloration.
If
the commutator is rough or worn the armature
should be removed and the commutator turned
down in a lathe. A discolored commutator should
be cleaned with carbon tetrachloride and inspected.

Scratches
on the commutator may be removed

with
sand paper. Use compressed air to remove

sand
particles after cleaning.

H-113.
Armature

Visually
inspect the armature for mechanical

defects
before checking for shorted or grounded
coils. Use a set of
test
probes for testing armature

circuits.
To
test
the armature for grounds, touch
one point of the
test
probes to a commutator
seg­
ment and touch the other point to the core or shaft.
Do not touch the points to the bearing surface or
to the brush surface as the arc formed
will
burn
the smooth finish. If the lamp lights, the coil con­
nected to the commutator
segment
is grounded.

H-114.
Field
Coils

Using
test
probes, check the field coils for both ground and open circuits. To
test
for ground, place
one probe on the motor frame or
pole
piece and
touch the other probe to the field coil terminals.
If
a ground is present, the lamp
will
light.

To
test
for open circuits, place the probes on the
field coil terminal and on an insulated
brush.
If
the light
does
not light, the coil is open circuited.

H-115.
Brush
Holder Inspection

Inspect
brush
holders for distortion, wear, and other
damage.
Check
that brush holders pivot freely on

their
pivot pins.
Check
brush spring tension with

a
spring scale. Hook the spring scale under the
brush
holder at the brush and
pull
on a line
paral­

lel
to the side of the
brush.
Note
scale reading just
as brush leaves commutator. Tension must be 35 oz. [9,925 kg.] minimum. Replace brush springs
if
tension is insufficient.

H-116.
Solenoid
Coils

Check
solenoid coil as follows:

a.
Remove screw from motor terminal of solenoid

and
bend field coil leads away from terminal.
Con­
nect terminal to ground with a heavy jumper wire.
See
Fig.
H-48.

b.
Connect a 12-volt battery, a high-current
vari­

able resistance, and an ammeter of 100 amperes

capacity
in series
between
S terminal of solenoid

and
ground; battery negative is to be connected
to ground. Connect a heavy jumper wire from
solenoid base to ground terminal of battery.
Con­

nect a voltmeter
between
base of solenoid and

small
S terminal of solenoid. Refer to Fig. H-48.

it
should be 42 to 49 amperes at 10 volts, with solenoid at room temperature.

d.
Disconnect jumper wire from motor terminal
of solenoid. Increase resistance until voltmeter

reads
10 volts;
note
ammeter reading.
This
is
cur­

rent
drawn by hold-in winding only; it should be 10.5 to 12.5 amperes at 10 volts, with solenoid at
room temperature.
e. If solenoid windings do not rest within specifi­ cations given, replace solenoid switch assembly.
