  2. 1976 Datsun 620 Tail Lights

    in Electrical

    Posted

    so i figured out what im going to do to have the new rear lights all work... I went to Vetco in Bellevue and bought 2 switches .... im going to mount one for the left signal and the other for the right Inside the turn signal steering column... the turn signal lever will trip the switch, then thrown that voltage into a flasher , then out of the flasher to the rear signal lamp

    spelling

    yep .... I know ..sorry guys

     

    So has anyone done a different type of Turn signal conversion for the 620 truck ?  using some other type of Flasher , or re wire Set up from the steering Column ?

    Red/Black stripe is reverse lamps.

     

     

     

     

    Running a wire to the flasher? how would it know L from R? Connect each side to the front signals. (Green/Black is right and Green/Red is left) What ever the front does the rears would now do without the brake interfering.

     

     

    ...but the brake and signal would be separate.

     

     

    i would assume since the flasher is 3 pronged .... 1 tab is voltage in .... the other 2 tabs are left and right ...

    I don't think this is possible.The steering column switch disconnects the brake signal on the side that is turning, allowing the flasher to work. You would need to bring wires from both amber lamps up to the front and connect to the front signal wires. Then remove the switch in the column that disconnects the brakes. The 620 uses two brake light bulbs. (both shared with the signal when not used) Now you will have less light when signaling or braking and no back up if one burns out.   

     

    So what Is the red Wire For off the Tail light Plug ?  reverse Light

     

    Also another question .... What If i ran a spliced wire Off of the Turn signal Flasher .. Under the Dash ... The Silver 3 Pronged Cylinder .... theres Got to be a way to re route a Blinker voltage signal ...

    So i am installing new tail lights from Ebay ... got the set up from the Philippines ...   Here is the question ...

     

    Main plug  Has 4 wires .. black (ground)...  Green...    Green/white..   Red

     

    the New set up Has 4 Bulbs ...  As of now the Green wire runs the brake and turn signal ... Red wire ?  green/white ?   no clue

     

    both the turn signal and 1 of the brake red sections come on at the same time when applying the brakes and using the turn signal ... I know I can run 12 volts to the back red side markers for my night time running Red rear tail light.  

    So here is the question ....

    I want the Amber Orange turn signals  to come On separately when i use my turn signals ... I know this needs to be done  Up on the steering Column  somewhere on the turn signal soldier board..

    How do Isolate the trurn signal wire to not be shared with the Brake Light ?

     

    thanks

  9. MSD 6AL BOX INSTALL

    in Electrical

    Posted

    i have a MSD on my truck now for over 20years ....  you need to follow the instructions and test for spark from the MSD Red Box ...  

     

    Correct , You Do not Run the White resistor in between the coil ... Looks like a white brick , 4 inches long

     you also Do not use the Condenser, round Barrel thing,  inside the distributor ... you Only need to run the Points ...

     

    CHECKING FOR SPARK

    If triggering the ignition with the White wire:1. Make sure the ignition switch is in the “Off” position.2. Remove the coil wire from the distributor cap and set the terminal approximately 1/2" from ground. 3. Disconnect the MSD White trigger wire from the distributor. 4. Turn the ignition to the On position. Do not crank the engine.5. Tap the White wire to ground several times. Each time you pull the wire from ground, a spark should jump from the coil wire to ground. If spark is present, the ignition is working properly. If there is no spark skip to step 6

     

    I also changed the way i used to turn the MSD box on when starting my 620 Truck .. I used to Have the Red wire running into the truck and then On the fuse Box to a Fuse that turned on when i started the truck.. this worked solid for ever, until a few years ago when I wasnt getting a full twelve volts on this wire, being sent back to the MSD box... i was Getting Low infrequent voltage being sent back to the box wich caused the MSD system to misfire and shut Off .. 

      I now Runt the red wire , switched 12 volts ... into the cab, hooked Up to a Toggle switch .. bottom tab, then Back directly to the battery.. This way the MSD always get a full 13 volts of power keeping it on and running
