<VV> I Want My Greenbriar Back...

About 7-years back, I sold my 64 Greenbriar to a multi "gazillionaire" developer from Miami Beach... a few years later, he resold it to someone else... my original buyer can't recall who he sold to... cutting to the chase, I'd like to explore a buy-back... does anyone know who owns this van, now? Not interested in any other, as I put AC, and a lot of goodies in this one; do not want to start over.

Of helping a fellow club member with his 1961 FC. It's my first time working on any wiring on an early model. His engine wiring harness was a mess! So we ordered a new one. All my experience has been with late-model wiring harnesses where the resistance wire doubles back on itself and does not directly connect to the coil. This new wiring harness has only one wire that will reach to the coil and that is a fabric covered resistance wire! I'm a little confused. Is the coil receiving less than 12 V all the time? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, if it is a 9 volt coil (or similar). In theory. there should also
be a 12 volt feed when the starter is operated, on the basis that when
the starter has taken its chunk of the available battery power, there's
about 9 volts left for the coil. But if that feed from the starter
(relay or switch) is not there, that rather defeats the pont of having a
9 volt coil and resistor in the first place.
How do you know your wire is a resistor wire and not just a 12 volt
feed? You can't tell with a volt-meter, as it needs a current draw to
show up the resistance & you will still get 12 volts on a meter, even if
it is a resistor wire (I think).

Yeah you can. Pop the distributor cap off, short the points. Either
use a clip lead or just bump the starter til the points close. Turn on
the ignition, measure voltage at the + terminal of the coil. If the
resistor wire is working the voltage will show low, around 8-10 volts,
or around 3-4 volts or so lower than battery voltage depending on the
coil. They vary. To see if the bypass wiring is working, crank the
engine. The voltage on the + coil terminal should be the same as
battery voltage during cranking.

I just did this same thing last night-If you ordered the clarks harness it is missing a wire, There is a yellow wire in the incoming body harness that is not in the new engine harness- that is from the starter and supplies 12V to the coil when cranking. I removed it from the old and installed it in the new and Viola ! I now have taillights and brake lights ! There were also a few extra wires for the generator and regulator that I removed because I have an Alternator now.
Hope this helps,
Ed Lindsay
