Transistor
regulator to handle the higher field current and enables it
to absorb the increased inductive voltages of the field
coil with satisfactory contact point life.
The double-contact regulator assembly (fig. 2c) con-
sists of a double contact voltage regulator unit and a field
relay unit. This unit uses two sets of contact points on
the voltage regulator unit to obtain desired field excita-
tion under variable conditions. Internal circuit wiring
diagrams of the double contact regulator are shown in
Figures 3c and 4c.
The transistor regulator (fig. 2c) is an assembly com-
posed principally of transistors, diodes, resistors, a
capacitor, and a thermistor to form a completely static
voltage regulating unit in combination with a conventional
vibrating type field relay.
The transistor is an electrical device which limits the
generator voltage to a preset value by controlling the
generator field current. The diodes, capacitor and re-
sistors act together to aid the transistors in controlling
the generator voltage. This is the only function that the
regulator performs in the charging circuit. The
thermistor provides a temperature-compensated voltage
setting. Wiring diagrams of the transistor regulator are
shown in Figures 3c and 4c.
The voltage at which the generator operates is deter-
mined by the regulator adjustment. The regulator voltage
setting can be adjusted externally by removing a pipe plug
in the cover (fig. 2c) and turning the adjusting arm inside
the regulator. This procedure is explained in the followr
ing section, and permits regulator adjustments without
removing the cover.

4c— Circuitry - Voltage Regulator Assemblies (Corvette)
Engine compartment wiring harness incorporates sev-
eral fusible links. Each link is identified with its gage
size. A fusible link is a length of special wire (normally
four wire gages smaller than the circuit it is protecting)
used in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such
as the ignition circuit. The same size wire with a hypalon
insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link.
The links are:
1.
The pigtail lead at the battery positive cable (except
Corvette) is a 14 gage, brown fusible link protecting
the 10 gage battery charging circuit. This wire is an
integral part of the battery cable assembly and serv-
icing requires replacing the complete battery cable
assembly. On Corvette models this link is installed
as a molded splice at the solenoid "Bat" terminal
and servicing requires splicing in a new link.
2.
A 16 gage black fusible link is located at the horn
4.
relay to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gage or
larger. It is installed as a molded splice and serv-
icing requires splicing in a new link.
The generator warning light and field circuitry (16
gage wire) is protected by a fusible link (20 gage
orange wire) used in the "battery feed to voltage
regulator #3 terminal" wire. The link is installed as
a molded splice in the generator and forward lamp
harness and is serviced by splicing in a new 20 gage
wire as required.
The ammeter circuit on all models is protected by
two orange, 20 gage wire fusible links installed as
molded splices in the circuit at the junction block or
the solenoid "Bat" terminal (Corvette only) and at
the horn relay. Each link is serviced by splicing in a
new 20 gage wire as required.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
At regular intervals, inspect the terminals for cor-
rosion an4 loose connections, and the wiring for frayed
insulation. Check mounting bolts for tightness. Check the
drive belt for alignment, proper tension and wear. Be-
cause of the higher inertia and load capacity of the rotor
used in A.C. generators, PROPER BELT TENSION is
more critical than on D.C. generators.
Since the Delcotron and its companion regulator are
designed for use on negative polarity systems only, the
following precautions must be observed. Failure to ob-
serve these precautions may result in serious damage to
the charging system.
1.
When installing a battery, always make absolutely
sure the ground polarity of the battery, generator and
regulator is the same.
2.
When connecting a booster battery, make certain to
connect the correct battery terminals together.
3.
When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the
correct charger leads to the battery
%
terminals.
4.
Never operate the generator on an uncontrolled open

circuit. Make absolutely certain all connections in
the circuit are secure.
5.
Do not short across or ground any of the terminals
on the generator or regulator.
6. Do not attempt to polarize the generator.
7.
Do not disconnect lead at generator without first dis-
connecting battery ground cable.
Trouble in the A.C. charging system will usually be
indicated by one or more of the following conditions:
1.
Faulty indicator lamp or ammeter operation.
2.
An undercharged battery (usually evidenced by slow
cranking speeds).
3.
An overcharged battery (usually evidenced by exces-
sive battery water usage).
4.
Excessive generator noise or vibration.
Described below are a series of on-the-vehicle quick
checks which are designed to assist the service tech-
nician in locating troubles within the various components
of the engine electrical system. Additional checks, ad-
justments and overhaul procedures of these components
are also described in the "Charging Systems—Service
Operations Section" and should be referred to as
necessary.
STATIC CHECKS
Before making any electrical checks, perform the fol-
lowing static checks:
1.
Check for loose fan belt.
2.
Check for defective battery. (Refer to Battery).
3.
Inspect all connections, including the slip-on con-
nectors at the regulator and Delcotron.
NOTE: Do not short field to ground to check if
generator is charging since this will seriously
damage the charging system.
SYSTEM CONDITION TEST
This test is used .to indicate the overall condition of the
charging system (both good and defective) and to isolate
the malfunctioning unit if the system is defective.
NOTE: On Corvette models difficulty may be
encountered -when attempting to make the re-
quired test connections at the voltage regulator.
It is advisable to remove the regulator from its
mounting location to perform the necessary con-
nections at the regulator for the following tests
but make sure unit is grounded.
1.
With ignition off, perform the prescribed Static
Checks outlined in this section. Then set hand brake
and shift transmission
into
neutral.
2.
Connect a voltmeter from junction block relay to
ground at regulator base.
CAUTION: Be sure meter clip does not touch a
resistor or terminal extension under regulator,
3.
Connect a tachometer on engine.
4.
Models equipped with Indicator Lamp: Turn ignition
switch on "ON" position and check indicator lamp.
If lamp fails to glow, perform appropriate tests and
corrections (Indicator Lamp Circuit Tests) before
continuing.
Models equipped with Ammeter: Turn ignition
switch to "ACC" with an accessory on and check
ammeter. If ammeter fails to read discharge, check
ammeter circuit before continuing.
5.
Models equipped with Indicator Lamp: If lamp glows,
start the engine and run' it at 1500 rpm or above.
Check indicator lamp. If lamp fails to go out, per-
form appropriate test and corrections (Indicator
Lamp Circuit Test) before continuing.
Models equipped with Ammeter: If ammeter reads
discharge, start the engine and observe ammeter. If
meter fails to move toward charge (from original
position), perform appropriate test and corrections
(Field Circuit Tests) before continuing.
NOTE: At this point a field circuit has been
established and any other problem will lie in
generator or regulator.
6. Turn on high-beam headlights and heater blower
motor to high speed, run engine at or above 1500
rpm (for a few minutes, if necessary) and read the
voltage on meter.

OTHER SERVICE OPERATIONS
Although certain operations, such as oil pan or gasket
replacement, valve body, governor, filler pipe "O" ring,
speedometer drive gear, case extension "0" ring and
rear oil seal, vacuum modulator, and servo cover or
gasket service may be performed from underneath the
vehicle without removing the Powerglide; their service
procedure is covered in the Passenger Overhaul Manual
and is not repeated here. Refer to the- Powerglide Sec-
tion of the Passenger Overhaul Manual for all other
service operations not covered here.
DIAGNOSIS
Proper operation of the Powerglide transmission may
be affected by a number of factors, all of which must be
considered when trouble in the unit is diagnosed.
Proper trouble diagnosis can only be accomplished
when performed in a thorough step by step procedure.
The following procedure has been devised and tested and
is recommended for all trouble diagnosis complaints and
if the service man will follow this checking procedure,
accurate and dependable diagnosis may be accomplished.
This will result in a savings of time, not only to the
service man, but to the customer as well.
WARMING UP TRANSMISSION
Before attempting to check and/or correct any com-
plaints on the Powerglide transmission it is absolutely
essential that the oil level be checked and corrected if
necessary. An oil level which is either too high or too
low can be the cause of a number of abnormal conditions
from excessive noise to slippage in all ranges.
It must be remembered that cold oil will slow up the
action of the hydraulic controls in the transmission. For
this reason a trouble or oil leak diagnosis should not be
attempted until the transmission has been warmed up by
either of the following procedures:
Shop Warm Up
1.
Connect tachometer to engine.
2.
Set parking brake tight and start engine.
3.
Place selector light in
"D"
(drive) range.
4.
Adjust carburetor idle speed adjusting screw to run
engine at approximately 750 rpm and operate in this
manner for two minutes. At the end of two minutes
of operation, the transmission will be sufficiently
warmed up for diagnosis purposes.
NOTE:
At this point, readjust the engine idle
speed to 450-475 rpm in
"D"
range.
Road Warm Up
Drive the car approximately 5 miles with frequent
starts and stops.
NOTE:
At this point, make sure the engine idle
speed is set to 450-475 rpm in
"D"
range.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
After transmission has been warmed up, check the
fluid level with the engine idling, parking brake set and
control lever in "N" (neutral). If the fluid level is low,
add fluid to bring level up to the full mark on gauge rod,
CAUTION: If fluid level is too high, fluid may
be aerated by the planet carrier. Aerated fluid
will cause turbulence in the converter which will
result in lost power, lower stall speed and lower
pressures in control circuits. Lower fluid level
to full mark, then shut off engine to allow air
bubbles to work out of fluid.
When checking oil level, aburned smell and discolora-
tion indicate burned clutches or bands and the transmis-
sion will have to be removed.
MANUAL LINKAGE
Manual linkage adjustment and the associated neutral
safety switch are important from a safety standpoint.
The neutral safety switch should be adjusted so that the
engine will start in the Park and Neutral positions only.
With the selector lever in the Park position, the park-
ing pawl should freely engage and prevent the vehicle
