F4
ENGINE
The
Prestolite distributor on the F4
engine
is
mounted on the right
side
of the
engine
and is op
erated by a coupling on the oil pump shaft, see Fig.
D-l,
which is driven by a spiral gear on the cam
shaft. The spark advance is fully automatic, being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights.
The Pres
tolite
distributor on the V-6
engine
(Fig. H-8) is mounted at the
left
front of the
engine
on the tim
ing chain cover. It is driven by a spiral gear on the
camshaft. The spark advance is fully automatic,
being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights,
and by a vacuum advance system. While
some
parts of the distributor may be checked or replaced
with the unit mounted on the
engine,
it is
best
to periodically remove it for a thorough check. Infor mation covering the parts which can be serviced
without removal is
given
below.
The
Prestolite distributor installed on the V-6 en
gine
is similar in construction to the distributor in
stalled on the F4
engines
except
for the addition of
a
vacuum advance mechanism.
The
same checking procedures outlined in Par. C- 10a, are used for the Prestolite V-6 distributor with
exception
of specifications.
H-10. Distributor Cap
The
distributor cap should be inspected for cracks,
carbon runners and
evidence
of arcing. If any of
these
conditions
exists, the cap should be replaced.

Rotor
Inspect the rotor for cracks or
evidence
of
excessive
burning at the end of the metal strip.
After a distributor rotor has had normal use the
end of the rotor will

too short and
needs
replacing. Usually when this condition is found the distributor cap

H-13. Distributor Points
a. Examine the distributor
points.
If
they
show
wear,
poor
mating, transferred metal, or pitting,
then
new
ones
should be installed. Clean the
points
with a suitable
solvent
and a stiff bristled brush.
b. Check the
alignment
of the
point
for a full,
square
contact.
If not correctly aligned, bend the
stationary
contact
bracket slightly to provide align
ment.
c. The
contact
gap should be set at .020"
[0,508
mm.],
on the F4 and .016"
[0,406
mm.] on the
Prestolite V6. Adjustment of the gap is accom plished by
loosening
the lock screw and turning adjusting eccentric screw until correct gap is
secured. Be sure that the fiber block on the breaker
arm
is resting on the
highest
point
on the cam while the adjustment is
being
made. Recheck the gap
after locking the adjustment.
d. Apply a thin film of cam lubricant to the cam to
lessen
fiber block wear.
e. Using Tool C-4094, check
point
contact
spring
pressure, which should be
between
17 and 20
ounces
[0,487
a
0,567
kg.] on the F4 and 17 to 22 oz.
[0,487
a
0,624
kg.] on the Prestolite V6.
Check
with a spring scale
hooked
on the breaker
arm
at the
contact
and pull at right
angle
to the
breaker arm. Make the reading just as the
points
separate. Adjust the
point
pressure by
loosening
the stud holding the end of the
contact
arm spring
and slide the end of the spring in or out as
neces
sary.
Retighten the stud and recheck the pressure. Too low a- pressure will
cause
engine
missing at
high
speeds.
Too high a pressure will
cause
rapid
wear of the cam, block, and
points.

no soldering or unsoldering of leads; two complete

assembly complete with shaft,
pole

The
transistorized
voltage
regulator is an electronic
switching device. It
senses
the
voltage
appearing
at the auxiliary terminal of the alternator and
supplies the necessary field current for maintaining
the system
voltage
at the output terminal. The
output current is determined by the battery electri
cal
load; such as headlights, heater, etc.
The
transistorized
voltage
regulator is a sealed
unit,
has no adjustments, and must be replaced
as a complete unit.
H-64. ALTERNATOR
PRECAUTIONS
The
following precautions must be observed to
prevent damage to the alternator and regulator.
a.
Never reverse battery connections. Always
check
the battery polarity with a voltmeter before
any
connections are made to be sure that all con
nections correspond to the battery ground polarity of the vehicle.
b.
Booster batteries for starting must be properly
connected. Make sure that the negative cable of
the booster battery is connected to the negative
terminal
of the battery in the vehicle. The positive
cable of the booster battery should be connected
to the positive terminal of the battery in the
vehicle.
c.
Disconnect the battery cables before using a fast charger.
d.
Never use a fast charger as a booster for
starting
the vehicle.
e.
Never disconnect the
voltage
regulator while
the
engine
is running.
f.
Do not ground the alternator output terminal.
g.
Do not operate the alternator on an open
circuit
with
the field energized.
h.
Do not attempt to polarize an alternator.
These
precautions are stated here as an aid to
service
personnel. They are also restated at appro
priate
places in the
text
of this section of the
manual.
H-65. ALTERNATOR
CHARGING
SYSTEM SERVICE
Important:
All alternator
tests
for the 35, 40 and
55 amp alternator are the same, however, there is a
difference
between
the location of the various ter
minals
and field current specifications. The field
current
of the 35 amp alternator should be 1.7 to 2.3 amps, 40 and 55 amp alternators should be 1.8
to 2.4 amps, with
full
battery
voltage
applied to
the filed coil. Disassembly and assembly procedures
are
the same for all three alternators.
Terminal
locations and wire harness color
codes
for the 35,
40 and 55 amp alternator are shown in Fig. H-38.
H-66.
Service Diagnosis
In
diagnosing a suspected malfunction of the
alternator
charging system, consideration must
be given to the complete electrical power plant of the vehicle; including the alternator, regulator,
ignition switch, charge indicator lamp, battery,
and
all associated wiring. If it is suspected that the
alternator
is not fully charging the battery and
fulfilling
the electrical requirements of the electrical
system, several checks should be made before
checking
the alternator itself:
Note:
Whenever service is required in connection
with
an alternator problem, the first
step
should be to verify that the wiring harness hook-up is correct
as indicated in Fig. H-38.
a.
Test the condition of the battery and
state
of
charge
(Par. H-2).
If the battery is not fully charged
and
in
good
condition, use a replacement battery
for making alternator system
tests.
Caution:
Make certain that the negative battery
post
is connected to ground when making the
battery installation. Serious damage to the alter
nator
can result if battery polarity is reversed.
b.
Check
fan belt for proper tension (Par.
C-27).
Caution:
To increase belt tension, apply pressure
to alternator front housing only as permanent damage can result if pressure is applied to
rear
housing.
H-67.
Alternator In Vehicle Tests
The
following
tests
are made with the alternator
in
the vehicle with output and regulator connec
tions maintained to the alternator except as noted
in
Fig. H-27 and H-28. The field plug and
voltage
regulator are disconnected for
these
tests.
The
tests
are given in proper order and detail in the
following paragraphs.
a.
Isolation Diode Test: To determine if the isola
tion diode is open or shorted, refer to Par. H-69.
b.
Alternator Output Test: To isolate the trouble
to the alternator or regulator, refer to Par. H-70.
c.
Alternator
Field
Circuit
Test: To determine the condition of the field
circuit
(brushes and rotor),
refer
to Par. H-73.
d.
Brush
Insulation
and Continuity
Test:
To deter
mine the condition of the
brush,
refer to
Par.
H-75.
e.
Rotor In-Vehicle Test: To determine whether
the rotor coil is open or shorted, refer to
Par.
H-73.
f. Any further
tests
must be conducted with the
alternator
removed and disassembled. When this
is done, the condition of the rotor, the rectifying
and
isolation diodes, and the stator can be further
tested.
A
commercial alternator tester Sun

Model
VAT-20
or equivalent can be used to make all
necessary
tests
on the alternator system. If a com
mercial
tester is used, follow the recommended
testing procedure outlined by the tester manu
facturer.
If
a commercial tester is not available, follow the
testing procedure as outlined in this manual.
